Saint Joseph's College of Maine

What are the graduation rates for students at Saint Joseph's College of Maine?

Saint Joseph's reported a 66% six-year graduation rate for its measured first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort and a 44% four-year rate. The difference matters: a student finishing after four years but within six is counted in the latter measure, not the former.

These federal-style cohort rates do not describe every student. They are not a completion forecast for transfers, part-time students, or adults returning to college. The reported first-year retention rate was 75%, meaning roughly three in four students in its measured cohort returned the following fall. Applicants evaluating a specific major should also ask about course availability and the expected time to completion, which institution-wide rates cannot show.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Saint Joseph's College of Maine?

College Scorecard program figures provide a limited view of earnings approximately one year after credential completion. They are historical outcomes for the graduates captured by that measure - not starting-salary offers, predictions for every graduate, or evidence that a degree alone caused a particular income.

Reported one-year figures include $62,988 for registered nursing, $38,933 for business administration, and $33,999 for teacher education focused on specific levels and methods. The reported figure for allied health diagnostic, intervention, and treatment professions is $81,735. These are program-level measures, not a college-wide graduate salary. Differences can reflect occupation, credential level, geography, prior experience, and the graduates included in the data.

Students comparing outcomes should match the Scorecard program category to the specific credential they intend to pursue. A one-year earnings measure also leaves out later career growth, graduate study, unpaid work, and other reasons someone might choose a field.
