How this school serves students from different economic backgrounds, including Pell students, first-generation pathways, and long-term mobility outcomes.
Simpson College admits about 86.2% of applicants. The middle range of ACT scores for admitted students falls between 31 and 33, with a midpoint of 24. Among enrolled undergraduates, 34.6% receive Pell Grants and 23.4% are first-generation college students. The institution enrolls a modest transfer population at 11.8%. Azimuth ranks Simpson College #1135 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. The access ranking reflects Simpson's positioning as a private institution with selective admissions; the share of Pell-eligible and first-generation students is meaningful but smaller than at broad-access public universities. Freshman retention stands at 81.3% and the six-year graduation rate is 63.3%. Azimuth ranks Simpson College #988 for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions. Low-income graduates earn a median of $43,100 on a historical ten-year Scorecard measure, placing this cohort in the 51.5 percentile for low-income graduate earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. For a smaller private institution, Simpson's ability to support low-income students into competitive earnings outcomes reflects the value of its business-focused curriculum and regional employer relationships in the Midwest.
