What are the graduation rates for students at Alaska Pacific University?

Alaska Pacific University's reported four-year graduation rate is 36%, and its six-year rate is 42%. The reported overall graduation rate is 47%. These measures should not be treated as interchangeable: graduation statistics can cover different entering cohorts, degree levels, or reporting windows.

The standard federal first-time, full-time graduation measure follows a defined group of entering students. It does not describe the eventual completion rate of every transfer, part-time, or returning adult student. That distinction matters at APU, where transfer students are a substantial part of new undergraduate enrollment.

The reported first-year retention rate is 68%, measuring the share of students who continued into the next reporting period under the applicable definition. None of these figures establishes why a student left or how long an individual applicant will take to finish. A program-specific course plan is more useful for estimating personal time to degree.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Alaska Pacific University?

A reliable, program-specific salary prediction for an Alaska Pacific University graduate cannot be drawn from the reported one-year earnings information. Earnings depend on the occupation, location, experience, additional education, and which former students are captured by a particular dataset.

Federal College Scorecard earnings measures, when reported for a program, generally describe matched former students rather than every graduate. They are observational outcomes, not starting-salary offers or estimates of the value added by a degree. Students comparing programs should pair any available earnings measure with program costs, likely borrowing, licensing requirements, and the jobs associated with the credential.
