The reported overall graduation rate is 3% in the 2024-25 institutional figures. The reported four-year and six-year rates are also 3%. These figures warrant attention, but a graduation rate describes a defined entering cohort and measurement period - not the likelihood that every newly admitted student will graduate.
Reported rates have varied sharply across recent cohorts. That volatility is especially important at a college with small entering classes: a difference of only a few students can substantially change a percentage. A reported 100% retention rate measures a different outcome - whether students returned for another year - and should not be interpreted as a completion rate. Applicants may find it useful to ask for recent cohort sizes and completion outcomes for their intended credential.
A reliable one-year-after-completion earnings figure for Southwestern Christian College's Bible/Biblical Studies program is not available in the cited College Scorecard measure. It would be misleading to infer a typical salary for that program from the absence of a reported figure.
Earnings measures, when published, generally describe a specified group of former students at a particular point in time. They do not predict an individual's pay and may not capture unpaid ministry, further education, part-time work, or career changes. Students comparing programs should consider their likely career path, the credential required for it, and the total amount they may need to borrow.
