Reported completion figures show that 39% of the relevant first-time, full-time bachelor's cohort graduated within four years, while 55% graduated within six years. The longer measure includes students who finished after the standard four-year period; it should not be added to the four-year rate.
These federal graduation-rate measures follow defined entering cohorts, not every undergraduate at the college. They do not describe the outcomes of all transfer students, part-time students, or Graduate Institute students. The reported first-year retention rate is 82%, a separate measure of whether entering students continued into their second year. Because a small cohort can make percentages change substantially from year to year, applicants comparing colleges should consider both the cohort definition and multiple years of results.
College Scorecard program data report approximately $20,522 in earnings one year after completion for the liberal arts and sciences, general studies, and humanities field associated with St. John's. This is a reported program-level earnings measure, not a starting salary offered to every graduate.
The timing is important: one-year earnings capture an early point in graduates' working lives and do not measure later earnings, graduate-school outcomes, or the value of unpaid and part-time work. Federal earnings measures also cover only the graduates who meet their reporting criteria. Students considering a field with specific salary expectations should compare this figure with longer-term outcomes and with the additional training their intended career may require.
