What are the graduation rates for students at Saint Joseph Seminary College?

Saint Joseph Seminary College's reported four-year graduation rate is 43%, while its six-year rate is 48%. These measures follow specified groups of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students; they are not the percentage of all students, including transfers, who eventually finish.

The reported first-year retention rate is 71%, meaning roughly seven in ten students in the measured entering group returned the following fall. Because the college enrolls fewer than 100 students overall, a change involving only a few people can move a cohort's percentage substantially. A student who leaves the college to pursue another educational or vocational path also should not automatically be interpreted as having failed academically.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Saint Joseph Seminary College?

A reliable one-year-after-completion earnings figure is not established for Saint Joseph Seminary College's reported philosophy and religious-studies fields. Prospective students therefore should not use a claimed program salary as a forecast of their own earnings.

Earnings measures require particular care at a seminary college. Students may continue to graduate theological study, enter religious formation, change vocational direction, or work in occupations with different compensation arrangements. When comparing outside earnings statistics, check whether they describe completers or another student group, whether the figure is a median or mean, and how long after attendance it was measured.
