What are the graduation rates for students at Thiel College?

Thiel's reported four-year graduation rate is 40%, while its six-year rate is 48%. These measures track defined entering groups over different periods; they do not mean that every student who remains enrolled for six years graduates.

The reported overall graduation rate is 49%, and the student retention rate is 73%. Retention measures whether students return after their first year, whereas graduation rates measure degree completion over a longer window. The figures should not be used interchangeably or read as a prediction for a transfer student, whose prior credits and time to completion may differ from those of the first-time cohorts typically used in federal graduation reporting.

Applicants concerned about finishing on time can ask for a major-specific course plan, including the sequence of required courses and any internships, clinical placements, or certification steps.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Thiel College?

College Scorecard program figures provide a limited view of earnings roughly one year after completion for federally aided former students represented in each reported field. They are not starting-salary offers or promises about what a particular graduate will make.

  • Accounting and related services: reported median earnings of $48,342.
  • Special education and teaching: reported median earnings of $42,360.
  • Business administration, management, and operations: reported median earnings of $38,151.
  • Criminal justice and corrections: reported median earnings of $33,958.

The comparison is useful mainly for understanding the scope and limits of the published measure. Field-specific results can reflect differences in occupation, location, further study, and the graduates included in a reporting cohort. A one-year earnings figure does not account for total college costs, student debt, or how earnings may change later in a career.
