What are the graduation rates for students at Sterling College-Vermont?

Sterling's reported six-year graduation rate was 32%, while its four-year rate was 5%. These measures generally follow a defined cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree; they do not describe the completion rate of every transfer or part-time student.

The reported first-year retention rate was 86%, a different measure drawn from a different point in students' studies. At an institution enrolling very small classes, a change in a few students' outcomes can substantially move a percentage. Applicants should consider these figures alongside the time and credits required for their own degree plan, especially if transferring.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Sterling College-Vermont?

A reliable program-level earnings figure is not established here for Sterling's listed fields of study. It would be misleading to assign a salary to graduates of ecology, agriculture, outdoor education, or another program on that basis.

Sterling's historical career-services profile included individual and group counseling, résumé and interview preparation, a job bank, employer events, and alumni networking. It also indicated an internship requirement. Those services and requirements are distinct from verified employment or earnings outcomes. Students weighing a career path should ask what internship placements, advising, and employer connections are available for their specific field and enrollment period.
