What are the graduation rates for students at Tabor College?

Tabor College's reported four-year and six-year graduation rates are both 34%. These measures track defined groups of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students, not every person who attends the college; transfer and part-time students may have different paths.

The reported first-year retention rate is 53%, meaning that roughly half of the measured first-time students returned the following fall. Retention and graduation rates answer different questions, and rates reported together can represent different entering cohorts. Neither figure identifies why an individual student left, transferred, or took longer to finish.

For a prospective student, the practical follow-up is to examine the course sequence for the intended major and ask how advising, required classes, and transfer-credit decisions could affect time to degree.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Tabor College?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures report median earnings about one year after completion for eligible graduates with matched earnings records. For Tabor College, the reported figure is $38,812 in business administration, management and operations and $30,215 in sports, kinesiology, and physical education/fitness.

These are observations about particular groups, not starting-salary offers or predictions for a future graduate. Earnings can vary with occupation, location, further education, work hours, and the number of graduates represented in a field. Many programs do not have a publishable one-year figure, so the available majors should not be treated as a ranking of all Tabor degrees.

Students can use the figures as one input alongside program cost, likely borrowing, completion outcomes, and the qualifications required for the jobs they want. Tabor reports career support that includes individual planning, résumé preparation, interview preparation, job-search resources, and employer recruitment; access to those services is distinct from a verified employment outcome.
