What are the graduation rates for students at Simmons College of Kentucky?

Simmons College of Kentucky's reported overall graduation rate is 14% in the 2024-25 institutional figures. Its reported four-year and six-year measures are 3% and 8%, respectively. These are low completion figures, but they should be read as measures of defined student cohorts rather than predictions for an individual applicant.

Graduation-rate measures can follow different entering groups and reporting rules; the figures should not be added together. They also do not describe every transfer student or adult learner. A reported student retention rate of 64% offers a different view: retention concerns continued enrollment, not eventual degree completion. Applicants can use these outcomes to frame specific questions about course availability, academic advising, and the typical time to finish their intended program.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Simmons College of Kentucky?

A degree from Simmons College of Kentucky should not be evaluated against a promised starting salary. Earnings depend on the occupation, location, prior work experience, further education, and the population included in any published measurement.

The college reports career support that includes individual and group career planning, résumé preparation, interview workshops, a job bank, job fairs, and employer recruitment. It also reports an internship requirement for students. Those are services and curricular expectations, not verified employment or salary outcomes. Applicants comparing programs can ask how internships are arranged, whether they are paid or carry additional costs, and what career paths recent graduates in the specific major have pursued.
