What are the graduation rates for students at Worsham College of Mortuary Science?

Worsham's reported overall graduation rate was 74% in 2024-25 data. Its reported student retention rate was 88%; retention describes students continuing their studies, not completing a credential.

A graduation rate follows a defined group of entering students over a specified period, rather than predicting what will happen to any individual enrollee. At a small college, changes involving relatively few students can move a percentage noticeably. Applicants should ask which credential and entering cohort a published completion figure covers and compare it with current program length and licensing-exam outcomes.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Worsham College of Mortuary Science?

An institution-specific earnings figure should not be treated as a reliable forecast of a Worsham student's future pay. Funeral service earnings depend on occupation, licensing status, location, employer, experience, and whether a person is salaried or owns a business.

When comparing career outcomes, distinguish wages reported for an occupation from earnings measured for a particular college's former students. Those populations are not interchangeable. Applicants may find licensing-exam results and the kinds of positions recent completers enter more useful alongside regional wage information than any single salary estimate.
