Russell Sage College

What are the graduation rates for students at Russell Sage College?

Russell Sage College's reported four-year graduation rate is 44%, and its six-year rate is 56%. These figures describe completion within set periods for a defined entering undergraduate cohort; they should not be read as the completion rate for every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.

The reported first-year student retention rate is 78%, measuring how many students in the relevant cohort returned the following fall. Graduation and retention figures answer different questions: returning for a second year is not the same as finishing a degree. Prospective students comparing colleges should use the same cohort definition and reporting period, then ask how course sequencing in their intended major affects the likelihood of finishing on their preferred timetable.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Russell Sage College?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures provide a limited view of earnings roughly one year after completion for graduates included in its federal-aid-based reporting population. They are median earnings for the measured group, not starting-salary offers or a forecast for every graduate.

Among Russell Sage programs with reported figures, registered nursing has a one-year median of $62,759. The reported median for psychology is $33,886, while design and applied arts is $35,683. Differences can reflect occupations, further schooling, location, work hours, and who is included in each measured group - not just differences in program quality.

These figures are most useful alongside program costs, licensing requirements, and longer-term career plans. A graduate enrolled in further study or working outside a measured earnings population may not be represented in the same way as someone employed full time immediately after completing a degree.
