Azimuth ranks Elon University #1180 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. The access ranking reflects the institution's enrollment patterns: Elon University enrolls a meaningful share of Pell-eligible and first-generation students on a campus with selective but not highly restrictive admission standards. The six-year graduation rate stands at 84.0%, with 16.3% of Pell-eligible students completing within the same window. First-year retention is 89.8%. Azimuth ranks Elon University #1468 for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions. Low-income graduates earn a median of $59,900 on a historical ten-year Scorecard measure, placing this cohort in the 86.1 percentile for low-income graduate earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. The mobility ranking reflects the combination of meaningful low-income enrollment and outcomes that support upward financial progress for graduates from Pell-eligible backgrounds. Azimuth's approach to access and mobility distinguishes between the scale at which an institution serves low-income students and the earnings outcomes those students achieve — Elon University demonstrates solid performance on both dimensions.
