Graduation rate
38%

Students who entered Bevill State Community College reach a median of $34,107 a decade later, a figure that trails the typical four-year outcome. The six-year graduation rate is 38% — low enough that finishing cannot be treated as the default outcome.

Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.

Completion is the problem here: 38% graduate within six years. First-year retention is 66% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. The distance between those two figures is the part worth noticing — students return for a second year at a much higher rate than they graduate, so attrition here is spread across the middle years rather than concentrated in the first. A 19% transfer-out rate accounts for part of that gap: those students left for another institution rather than dropping out, and the graduation rate above counts them as non-completers here. A 16:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 2,189 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price is $6,798 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Income makes less difference than usual: $5,204 at $0–30k, $8,852 at $110k+. 71% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,873 — common but not automatic.

Entering first-year students

A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income

The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.

Family income band Average net price

$30–48k $5,922
$48–75k $7,966
