What are the graduation rates for students at Springfield College?

Springfield College's reported graduation rate is 74% within six years for the applicable first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort. Its four-year rate is 70%, meaning most of the graduates counted within the longer window had finished by year four.

These are cohort measures, not predictions for an individual student or completion rates for every transfer, part-time, or graduate student. The reported first-year retention rate is 81%; retention measures students who return, not students who have completed a degree. The distinction matters when evaluating time and cost: a student changing majors, entering with transfer credit, or pursuing a program with a different required sequence may follow a different path from the cohort behind the published graduation figures.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Springfield College?

Program-level College Scorecard earnings figures offer a limited view of income roughly one year after completion. They should not be read as starting-salary offers, outcomes for every graduate, or a promise that a particular degree will produce a particular wage.

Reported one-year figures include a median of $45,339 for education, general; $36,701 for criminal justice and corrections; $32,887 for sports, kinesiology, and physical education/fitness; and $26,384 for psychology, general. These figures refer to federally aided program completers whose earnings could be measured. The underlying program categories can cover different credentials, and some graduates may continue studying rather than enter full-time work immediately.

Comparisons are especially sensitive to degree level, occupation, geography, and whether a field requires graduate training or licensure. Earnings do not include the full value of benefits or establish what a student will earn after several years. Applicants can use the figures as one question to investigate alongside program cost, borrowing, placement requirements, and the credentials needed for their intended career.
