The University of Olivet

What are the graduation rates for students at The University of Olivet?

The university's reported six-year graduation rate is 35%, while its four-year rate is 29%. These measures track defined groups of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students; they are not the percentage of all students, including transfers and part-time students, who eventually earn a degree.

The reported first-year retention rate is 61%. Retention measures whether students continue at the institution into the following academic year, not whether they ultimately graduate. Completion and retention figures can prompt useful questions about course availability, advising and affordability, but the rates alone do not establish why an individual student stayed, left or took longer to finish.

Transfer and adult applicants should be particularly cautious about applying first-time-student graduation rates to their own plans. A degree audit that accounts for accepted transfer credit, required course sequences and the expected number of terms offers a more individualized view of time to completion.

What is the earning potential for graduates at The University of Olivet?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings measured one year after completion for certain former students associated with a program. Among the available University of Olivet figures, the reported amount is $46,626 for insurance and $40,783 for business administration. These are observed earnings measures, not starting-salary offers or predictions for an applicant.

Other reported one-year figures include $35,640 for criminal justice, $28,707 for sports and kinesiology, and $28,174 for biology. Federal earnings measures cover a defined population of students with federal-aid records and are subject to reporting and privacy rules. The figures should not be read as the earnings of every graduate in a field.

One year is a short period for assessing a degree's longer-term value. Graduate study, local labor markets, hours worked and career stage can all affect the figure. Applicants weighing outcomes against cost should consider borrowing and likely career paths alongside any published earnings statistic.
