What are the graduation rates for students at Trinity Christian College?

Trinity Christian College's reported six-year graduation rate is 58%. The measure follows a defined group of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree; it does not describe the completion rate of every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.

The reported first-year retention rate is 81%, indicating the share of the relevant entering cohort that returned the following fall. A four-year graduation figure of 1% also appears in the reported figures, but it differs sharply from figures above 50% in several preceding reporting years. That discontinuity warrants checking the underlying federal cohort record before using the 1% figure to compare colleges or estimate a student's likely completion time.

For an individual student, degree sequencing, transferred coursework, course availability, and required clinical or field placements may matter more to a four-year plan than the institution-wide average. A prospective student can ask the intended department for a term-by-term degree map.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Trinity Christian College?

College Scorecard program figures offer a limited view of earnings roughly one year after completion; they are not promised starting salaries. Reported one-year figures include $65,497 for registered nursing and $44,363 for special education.

Other reported examples are $40,934 for teacher education focused on specific levels and methods, $31,363 for communication and media studies, and $28,164 for psychology. Scorecard program earnings generally describe federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled, and the published measure is typically a median rather than an average of every graduate's pay.

These figures cannot account for every difference in occupation, location, hours worked, further study, or graduate-school plans. They are most useful when compared with outcomes for the same field and credential elsewhere, not as a ranking of the personal value of different majors.
