What are the graduation rates for students at Bryant University?

Bryant's reported four-year graduation rate is 77%, while its six-year rate is 80%. These measures track the share of a defined entering group of first-time, full-time undergraduates who completed a degree within each period; they do not describe every transfer or part-time student.

The relatively small difference between the four- and six-year figures suggests that, among students in the measured cohort who finished within six years, many finished within four. Bryant also reports an 87% student retention rate, a separate measure of whether students return after their first year. Neither rate explains why an individual student leaves or stays, and neither guarantees completion on a particular schedule.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Bryant University?

College Scorecard program data report earnings measured one year after completion for certain Bryant fields of study. The figures apply to the graduates represented in each reported federal data group; they are not starting-salary offers or predictions for everyone with that major.

Among reported fields, the one-year earnings figures include $66,076 for computer and information sciences, $57,692 for applied mathematics, $54,004 for business administration, and $44,312 for communication and media studies. These are program-level measures, not estimates of the value added by Bryant alone.

Earnings comparisons require care. Program groups can include different kinds of jobs and locations, and graduates who continue their education or have earnings outside the measured population may not be represented in the same way. A useful comparison also considers program costs, borrowing, career interests, and outcomes over more than a single year.
