What are the graduation rates for students at Bridgewater State University?

Bridgewater State University's reported six-year graduation rate is 53% for the measured first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort. Its four-year rate is 32%. These measures track whether students in a defined entering cohort completed a credential within the stated time; they do not describe every transfer, part-time, or returning student.

The reported first-year retention rate is 75%, meaning roughly three-quarters of the measured first-time cohort returned the following fall. The gap between the four- and six-year graduation rates shows why time to completion matters financially: additional semesters can add tuition and living expenses or delay full-time employment. Neither rate establishes why individual students did or did not finish.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Bridgewater State University?

Federal College Scorecard program-level figures offer a limited view of earnings roughly one year after completion. The reported figure for computer science is $52,602; for accounting and related services, it is $44,074. Teacher education for specific levels and methods is reported at $36,336, while psychology is reported at $33,990.

These are reported median earnings for the federally aided program completers with earnings captured by the measure - not a starting-salary offer to every graduate. The figures reflect different fields, jobs, locations, and rates of further study. They do not measure whether alumni found work in their major, account for every graduate, or subtract education costs. Students comparing programs should consider likely licensing requirements, graduate-study plans, debt, and several years of career progression alongside one-year earnings.
