Southern California Seminary

What are the graduation rates for students at Southern California Seminary?

The reported overall graduation rate for Southern California Seminary is 50% in the 2024-25 institutional figures. The reported four-year and six-year rates are also 50%, but those figures should be interpreted cautiously at a school with a small undergraduate population.

Standard graduation-rate measures commonly follow a defined group of first-time, full-time, degree-seeking undergraduates rather than every student who attends. They may therefore say little about transfer students, part-time students, or graduate students - the groups a prospective seminarian may most want to understand. With small cohorts, the outcome of one student can materially change a percentage.

Applicants comparing programs should ask for program-level completion information, including the typical time to finish for students with their enrollment pattern. A graduation percentage alone does not explain why an individual student completed or left.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Southern California Seminary?

A reliable one-year post-completion earnings figure is not established for Southern California Seminary's Bible/Biblical Studies field in the cited College Scorecard field-of-study information. There is therefore no defensible school-specific salary figure to apply to prospective students.

Even when available, field-of-study earnings figures cover a defined group of former students at a particular point in time; they are not starting-salary offers or forecasts for all graduates. Ministry roles, graduate study, part-time employment, and work outside the field can produce different financial outcomes. Students weighing the cost of a program can compare its likely career paths with their own borrowing plans without treating a missing or limited earnings statistic as a prediction.
