What are the graduation rates for students at Saint Leo University?

Saint Leo University's reported four-year graduation rate is 38%, while its reported six-year rate is 44%. These are completion measures for defined entering student cohorts, not predictions for every student who enrolls.

The reported overall graduation rate is 45%, and the student retention rate is 59%. Retention typically tracks whether students in a specified first-time cohort return the following year; it is not the same as graduating. Standard federal graduation-rate measures also do not describe every transfer student, part-time student, or adult learner. Students comparing programs should ask about outcomes for the enrollment format and degree they actually plan to pursue.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Saint Leo University?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures give a limited view of earnings one year after completing a Saint Leo program. For example, the reported figure is $47,914 for business administration, management and operations and $42,956 for criminal justice and corrections.

These figures are not starting-salary offers or guarantees. College Scorecard earnings measures are based on covered former students with earnings information, rather than every graduate, and generally report a median for the defined group. A field's figure can reflect differences in jobs, locations, prior experience, further study, and the mix of credentials included in its reporting category. One-year earnings also leave out later career growth and nonfinancial outcomes. Applicants comparing majors should read the exact program and credential associated with a figure before using it in a borrowing decision.
