The College of Saint Scholastica

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

The College of Saint Scholastica reports a 61% four-year graduation rate and a 71% six-year graduation rate for the first-time, full-time student cohort used in federal graduation reporting. These measures follow a defined entering group; they do not describe every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.

The difference between the two rates shows that some students in the measured cohort completed after four years but within six. The reported first-year retention rate is 82%, measuring the share of students who returned for the next academic year rather than the share who eventually graduated.

Students comparing completion figures across colleges should check the cohort definition and reporting year. A program with clinical placements or a demanding course sequence may also have progression requirements that an institution-wide graduation rate cannot show.

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

College Scorecard field-of-study figures offer a limited look at earnings approximately one year after program completion. Reported figures for Saint Scholastica include $65,678 for registered nursing, $67,588 for general computer and information sciences, and $46,420 for health and medical administrative services. These are program-level observations for students included in the federal measure, not salaries promised to all graduates.

The same measure reports $39,169 for social work and $32,901 for psychology. Differences between fields can reflect occupation, further education, location, work hours, and which graduates are captured in the data. One-year earnings are especially incomplete for students entering graduate school or professions requiring additional credentials.

The college offers career counseling and planning, résumé and interview support, job-search resources, employer events, and alumni networking. Those services may help students explore opportunities, but their availability should not be confused with a verified employment or salary outcome.
