What are the graduation rates for students at Assumption University?

Assumption's reported four-year graduation rate is 70%, while its six-year rate is 75%. These measures follow a defined cohort of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students; they do not describe every transfer student, part-time student, or graduate student.

The difference between the rates means some students in the measured cohort completed their degrees after the fourth year but within six years. Assumption also reports an 84% student retention rate, a separate indicator of whether students continue their enrollment. Neither measure explains why an individual student stays, leaves, or takes longer to graduate.

For applicants comparing programs, the practical question is whether required courses, internships, clinical placements, or study abroad will fit into a four-year plan. Students transferring credits should request an individualized degree plan rather than applying the first-time-student graduation rate to their own circumstances.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Assumption University?

College Scorecard program figures provide a limited view of earnings approximately one year after completion for graduates included in its federal-aid-based reporting. They are historical observations, not starting-salary offers or predictions for future graduates.

Among Assumption programs with reported one-year figures, economics shows $50,332, accounting $49,581, and business administration $49,376. Reported figures for teacher education at specific levels and methods and for marketing are $43,916 and $42,945, respectively. Differences should not be read as the financial value of one major versus another: students' jobs, locations, further education, and the number of graduates represented can vary.

The figures are most useful as one comparison point alongside program cost, debt, internship access, and the occupation a student intends to pursue. They do not capture every graduate or measure long-term earnings.
