Saint Michael's College

What are the graduation rates for students at Saint Michael's College?

Saint Michael's reported a 67% four-year graduation rate and a 73% six-year graduation rate in the 2024-25 IPEDS data. These measures follow an entering cohort of first-time, full-time students; they do not describe the completion experience of every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.

The gap between the two rates shows that some members of the measured cohort finished after four years but within six. The reported first-year retention rate was 80%, measuring the share who returned for a second year rather than the share who ultimately graduated. Applicants comparing colleges should keep the cohort definition consistent and, if timing affects affordability, ask how often courses required for their intended major are offered.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Saint Michael's College?

College Scorecard program-level figures report earnings measured one year after completion for graduates represented in its matched records. They are historical outcomes for particular fields, not starting salaries promised to future students or a measure of every graduate's income.

Among reported fields, the one-year figure was $58,658 for accounting and related services. It was $40,880 for business administration and management and $34,234 for biology. These figures should not be read as a controlled comparison of the programs: the graduates represented, their jobs, further-study decisions, and the places where they work may differ.

One-year earnings are especially incomplete for fields in which further education or licensure is common. Students weighing cost against potential income should also consider debt, likely career paths, and earnings over a longer period rather than relying on one program-level figure.
