The reported six-year graduation rate is 12% for the measured first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort; the four-year rate is 8%. These are cohort measures, not the percentage of all students who will eventually complete a credential.
The six-year figure was 20% in the preceding reported year, so applicants should be cautious about treating a single cohort as a prediction of their own outcome, especially at a small institution. The reported student retention rate is 95%, which measures continued enrollment rather than graduation. Together, the figures make it worth asking how the seminary tracks students who continue religious study, transfer, or leave before completing its credential, and what academic advising is available to keep a degree plan on schedule.
A future salary should not be inferred from the seminary's religious studies focus or from its tuition price. Work after religious study can take different forms, including further education, teaching, and communal roles, with pay shaped by the position, location, and additional qualifications.
For a useful comparison, applicants can ask what share of recent completers entered paid work, continued study, or other pursuits, and whether the seminary tracks those outcomes separately. Any earnings statistic should be read with its measurement date and covered population in mind: it would describe a group of former students, not a guaranteed return for an individual enrollee.
