In the IPEDS 2024-25 figures, Southeastern's reported six-year graduation rate is 42%, while its four-year rate is 25%. These measures follow defined groups of first-time, full-time students; they do not describe every student who enrolls, including all transfers or part-time students.
The reported first-year retention rate is 81%, a different measure that tracks whether students return rather than whether they graduate. At a college enrolling 64 students overall, a small change in the number of students in a cohort can move a percentage substantially. Applicants should therefore use the rates as questions about degree planning, course availability, and time to completion - not as predictions of their individual outcome.
Program-level earnings should not be treated as a reliable forecast for a Southeastern applicant. No usable one-year earnings figure is reported here for the college's listed fields, including biblical studies, religion, business, and teacher education.
Earnings measures can also omit important context. They may reflect only graduates who can be matched to wage records, capture pay at a particular point in time, and say little about further study, self-employment, or unpaid ministry. Students comparing programs should pair any later published earnings figure with information about the credential, occupation, location, and cost of completing the degree.
