What are the graduation rates for students at Bastyr University?

A single institution-wide graduation-rate figure would not adequately describe Bastyr's mix of undergraduate, graduate, and professional students. The commonly cited federal four-year and six-year rates track defined groups of first-time, full-time undergraduates, not everyone who enrolls or transfers into a university.

That limitation is especially relevant here: Bastyr reported no first-time degree-seeking undergraduates in the cited 2024-25 enrollment snapshot, alongside transfer-in undergraduates and students in advanced programs. Prospective students should instead ask their intended program for recent completion figures, the number of students behind each figure, and whether the measure includes students who changed enrollment intensity or took a leave. For a clinical degree, timely completion of required placements may be as important as the nominal length of the curriculum.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Bastyr University?

College Scorecard information identifies an earnings figure of $31,720 for Bastyr's nutrition sciences field one year after graduation. It is a field-specific, early-career measure - not a salary promised to every nutrition graduate or a measure of earnings across the university.

The figure should be read with its underlying population and methodology in mind: federal earnings measures can exclude graduates who are not captured in the relevant aid and earnings records, and the reported field may combine people pursuing different jobs or further training. The available figure does not establish what an individual will earn, and it should not be generalized to Bastyr's clinical professional degrees. Students comparing programs should consider the credential required for their target occupation, licensing rules, placement information, and likely debt alongside earnings.
