What are the graduation rates for students at Baldwin Wallace University?

Baldwin Wallace's reported four-year graduation rate is 57%, while its six-year rate is 67%. These measures track a defined cohort of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students; they are not completion rates for every transfer, part-time or graduate student.

The longer measurement window captures students who finish after the fourth year, but it does not explain why any individual took more time. The reported student retention rate is 84%, another distinct measure that concerns continued enrollment rather than graduation. Students comparing schools should use the same cohort definition and time window for each institution, then consider how their intended major's course sequence could affect their own timeline.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Baldwin Wallace University?

College Scorecard program figures provide one limited view of earnings about one year after completion for federally aided graduates whose earnings can be measured. They are program-level medians, not promised starting salaries or earnings figures for every graduate.

Among reported Baldwin Wallace programs, the one-year median is $56,427 for registered nursing and $46,262 for finance. The reported figure for business administration is $42,653; for drama and theater arts, it is $19,475. These differences are useful for forming questions about career paths, but they do not isolate the value of a major or account for hours worked, location, later education or career progression. Small cohorts and reporting rules also limit which programs have publishable figures.

Prospective students should compare a program's earnings measure with its likely education costs and the work or further credentials commonly required in that field. A one-year figure is especially incomplete for careers in which graduate study or an extended period of training is common.
