What are the graduation rates for students at Bellevue University?

Bellevue University's reported six-year graduation rate is 33%, while its four-year rate is 13%. These measures track a defined group of first-time, full-time bachelor's students; they do not describe the completion rate of every Bellevue student.

That distinction matters at a university with substantial transfer and adult enrollment. A student who arrives with college credit is generally outside the traditional first-time cohort, and part-time enrollment can also change the time needed to finish. The reported student retention rate is 58%, a separate measure of continued enrollment rather than graduation.

The figures are useful for comparing similarly defined cohorts, but they cannot establish why an individual student left or how long a transfer student is likely to take. Prospective students can get a more relevant estimate by asking their program to map accepted credits, remaining requirements and realistic course availability onto a term-by-term plan.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Bellevue University?

College Scorecard program figures report earnings measured one year after completion for certain Bellevue University fields. They are historical outcomes for the students included in each reported group - not starting-salary offers, predictions for current applicants or a measure of every graduate.

Examples of reported one-year figures include $60,272 for business administration, management and operations; $53,179 for computer and information sciences, general; and $43,733 for criminal justice and corrections. The field label alone does not identify a job title, and comparisons should account for the credential level and student population behind each program result.

Earnings can reflect prior work experience, occupation, location and whether a graduate works full time, as well as the degree. This is particularly relevant when comparing programs that enroll working adults. A useful financial comparison pairs program-level earnings information with the credits still required, expected borrowing and the total cost of completing the credential.
