What are the graduation rates for students at Rollins College?

Rollins's reported four-year graduation rate is 69%, while its six-year rate is 75%. These measures follow a defined cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree; they are not the graduation rates of every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.

The difference between the two rates indicates that some students in the measured cohort completed after four years but within six. Rollins also reports an 85% student retention rate, a separate measure of students continuing from one year to the next. Neither measure explains why an individual student stays, leaves, or takes longer to finish. Transfer applicants and students planning to attend part time should be particularly careful about applying first-time, full-time cohort figures to their own circumstances.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Rollins College?

College Scorecard figures reported for Rollins vary considerably by field of study. The cited measure is median earnings for federally aided completers measured one year after completion - not a starting-salary offer, a measure of every graduate, or a forecast of what a current applicant will earn.

For example, the reported one-year median is $45,186 for business administration and $44,266 for economics. The corresponding figure is $24,214 for psychology and $20,629 for English language and literature. These figures describe different groups of former students and should not be read as a controlled comparison of what the majors themselves cause people to earn.

Early earnings can be affected by location, occupation, further education, hours worked, and the size of the group measured. Students weighing career outcomes can pair these statistics with information about internships and career support. Rollins offers career counseling, résumé and interview help, employer events, job-search resources, and alumni networking opportunities; access to those services is not an employment guarantee.
