What are the graduation rates for students at Thomas Aquinas College?

Thomas Aquinas College reports high completion rates for its first-time, full-time undergraduate cohorts. The 2024-25 graduation data show a four-year rate of 83% and a six-year rate of 84%.

These measures follow defined entering cohorts; they are not the percentage of every student who has ever enrolled, and they may not describe transfer students' outcomes. The reported first-year retention rate is 92%, meaning that most students in the measured cohort returned the following fall. Completion figures are useful when comparing colleges, but they do not establish why students stayed or graduated.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Thomas Aquinas College?

College Scorecard field-of-study data report $31,750 in earnings one year after completion for the liberal arts and sciences, general studies, and humanities category associated with Thomas Aquinas College. This is an early-career measure, not a prediction of what an individual graduate will earn.

The figure should be read with care: it concerns a defined group of former students with earnings that could be measured, not every alumnus. Graduate study, religious or public-service work, location, and time spent gaining experience can all affect what a one-year figure captures. For a college with one broad undergraduate program, the statistic is better used alongside information about debt, graduate study, and career interests than as a stand-alone return-on-investment calculation.
