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.
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.
