Wisconsin Lutheran College

What are the graduation rates for students at Wisconsin Lutheran College?

Wisconsin Lutheran College's reported four-year graduation rate is 52%, while its six-year rate is 64%. These measures track a defined cohort of first-time, full-time students beginning a bachelor's degree; they are not the completion rates of every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.

The difference between the two figures shows that some members of the measured cohort completed after four years but within six. The reported first-year retention rate is 73%, meaning roughly three in four students in the measured entering group returned the following fall. Neither figure explains why an individual student stayed, left, transferred, or took longer to finish.

Students estimating their own time to degree should look beyond the institution-wide rate. Major course sequencing, accepted transfer credits, placement requirements, and the number of credits attempted each term can materially change an individual graduation timeline.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Wisconsin Lutheran College?

Federal College Scorecard program data report earnings for some Wisconsin Lutheran College programs one year after completion. These figures are median reported earnings for the measured group of federally aided completers, not starting-salary offers or predictions for everyone who earns the degree.

• Registered nursing and related nursing programs: $59,060.
• Business administration, management, and operations: $43,827.
• Teacher education for specific levels and methods: $42,599.
• Communication and related programs classified as "other": $40,758.
• Sports, kinesiology, and physical education/fitness: $32,219.

One-year earnings reflect many influences besides the college, including occupation, location, work hours, prior experience, and whether graduates continue their education. Broad federal program categories can also combine students with different career paths. These amounts are most useful as one point of comparison alongside program costs, borrowing, licensure requirements, and longer-term career goals.
