Sacred Heart Major Seminary

What are the graduation rates for students at Sacred Heart Major Seminary?

The reported overall graduation rate for Sacred Heart Major Seminary is 67%, while its four-year rate is 33% and its six-year rate is 67%. These undergraduate completion measures should not be read as completion rates for every graduate or seminary formation program.

Graduation-rate measures follow a defined entering cohort over time, typically first-time, full-time degree-seeking undergraduates. Sacred Heart's first-time entering groups are very small, so a change in the outcome of one student can move a percentage substantially. The reported retention rate is 100%, but that figure likewise needs to be interpreted in light of cohort size and its specific measurement period. Applicants comparing outcomes should ask for completion information relevant to their own program and enrollment pattern.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Sacred Heart Major Seminary?

Publicly reported earnings figures do not provide a reliable one-year salary estimate for Sacred Heart Major Seminary's philosophy or theological and ministerial studies graduates. Applicants should not infer a typical salary from the institution's graduation rates or tuition.

Earnings data can also be a limited measure for this school because graduates may enter different kinds of work, continue their education, or pursue religious ministry. For a specific program, more useful questions include what positions its graduates seek, whether a credential is required for those positions, and what additional formation or authorization may be necessary. None of those considerations amounts to a guaranteed employment outcome.
