St. Francis College

What are the graduation rates for students at St. Francis College?

Reported completion measures for St. Francis College include a 37% four-year graduation rate and a 52% six-year graduation rate. These are cohort measures: they track defined groups of entering students over different periods, rather than predicting what will happen to every new student.

A separately reported overall graduation figure is 55%. Such figures should not be treated as interchangeable without checking their cohort and reporting definitions. The reported student retention rate is 65%; retention measures continued enrollment over a shorter interval, not degree completion. Transfer students and part-time students may not be represented in a first-time, full-time graduation cohort in the way a reader expects.

For planning purposes, the gap between four- and six-year completion is relevant because additional semesters can increase tuition and living expenses. It does not explain why individual students took longer or left college.

What is the earning potential for graduates at St. Francis College?

College Scorecard program figures report median earnings measured one year after completion for federally aided graduates in programs with publishable data. At St. Francis College, reported examples include $93,866 for registered nursing and $34,677 for business administration, management, and operations.

Other reported one-year program medians include $30,938 for criminal justice and corrections, $29,345 for biology, $28,379 for psychology, and $24,738 for communication and media studies. These are historical outcomes for particular graduate groups, not starting-salary offers or forecasts for a future graduate. Employment patterns, further education, geography, and the mix of occupations within a field can all affect the figures.

Students comparing programs should pair earnings data with completion costs and their intended career path. A one-year figure is especially limited for fields in which graduates commonly continue into professional or graduate education.
