Stonehill's reported four-year graduation rate is 70%, while its six-year rate is 76%. These rates describe completion within specified periods for defined entering cohorts; they do not predict whether any particular student will graduate on time.
The difference between the two figures shows that some students complete after the four-year point. The reported first-year retention rate is 84%, a separate measure of whether students return the following year rather than whether they ultimately earn a degree. Transfer students and students with different enrollment patterns should be cautious about applying first-time-student cohort rates to their own circumstances.
Time to degree also has a financial dimension: an additional term may bring tuition and living costs even if the student remains on track academically. Applicants can ask their intended department how course sequencing, changes of major, and transfer credits may affect a realistic graduation plan.
College Scorecard program figures report median earnings measured about one year after completion for graduates included in its matched earnings data. They are historical outcomes for particular programs and populations, not starting-salary offers or predictions for every graduate.
In the October 2026 Scorecard figures, the one-year median is $57,848 for finance and $57,836 for accounting. Business administration is reported at $50,129, while communication and media studies is reported at $40,764. Differences among fields can reflect occupations, labor markets, further study, and which graduates have earnings records; they should not be read as the effect of a major alone.
One year is also a short window. A graduate working part time, entering a lower-paid training role, or pursuing further education may have an earnings record that says little about a longer career. Students comparing programs should consider likely debt and costs alongside these figures, as well as the kinds of work they hope to pursue.
