University of Saint Mary of the Lake

What are the graduation rates for students at University of Saint Mary of the Lake?

A conventional four- or six-year undergraduate graduation rate is not a useful measure of the university's graduate and seminary programs. Its reported first-time, degree-seeking undergraduate enrollment was zero in the 2024-25 IPEDS data, so the usual first-time undergraduate cohort does not describe the students most likely to attend.

Graduate applicants can instead ask a program for its recent completion figures, the period measured and the treatment of students who change pathways. For seminarians, leaving formation and failing an academic course are different events; a single completion percentage would not explain that distinction.

What is the earning potential for graduates at University of Saint Mary of the Lake?

A reliable institution-specific earnings figure is not established here for University of Saint Mary of the Lake graduates one year after completion. Prospective students should therefore avoid treating a salary figure from another Saint Mary institution - or from a broad theology category - as this university's outcome.

Earnings would also need careful interpretation if a figure became available. Graduates may enter priestly ministry, lay church employment or other work with different compensation arrangements. A useful comparison would identify the population measured, whether the figure is a median or mean, how long after completion it was recorded and how many graduates were included.
