The College of Idaho

What are the graduation rates for students at The College of Idaho?

The College of Idaho's reported six-year graduation rate is 63% for the measured first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort. Its four-year rate is 58%. These measures follow a defined entering group; they are not the graduation rates of every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.

The difference between the four- and six-year rates indicates that some students in the cohort finished after four years. The reported first-year retention rate is 82%, meaning that the measured share returned for a second year. Retention and graduation answer different questions: returning after year one is not the same as completing a degree. Students estimating their own time to graduation should consider major sequencing, transfer credits, course availability, and the cost of any additional term.

What is the earning potential for graduates at The College of Idaho?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures give a limited picture of earnings roughly one year after completion for graduates included in the federal measurement. They are observations about particular groups, not starting-salary offers or forecasts for everyone who earns the degree.

Reported one-year figures include $34,789 for business administration and management, $27,241 for health services and allied health, $23,354 for biology, and $22,578 for psychology. The figures should be interpreted as the Scorecard's reported earnings measure for federally aided completers with observable earnings, rather than as the average pay of all alumni. Small cohorts, further education, location, occupation, and the timing of employment can materially affect comparisons across majors.

Career support is more concrete than an earnings prediction. The college reports individual and group career counseling, résumé and interview assistance, employer recruiting, job fairs, and alumni networking opportunities. An internship is not required of every student, so applicants interested in one should ask how placements are arranged in their intended field.
