Butler University

What are the graduation rates for students at Butler University?

Butler's reported four-year graduation rate is 72%, and its six-year rate is 79%. These measures track designated cohorts of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students; they are not completion rates for every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.

The reported first-year retention rate is 87%, meaning most students in the measured entering cohort returned the following fall. Retention and graduation rates provide useful context, but they do not explain why an individual student stays or leaves. Students comparing programs should also consider course sequencing, internship or clinical requirements, and whether changing majors could extend their time to degree.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Butler University?

The available program-level earnings figure is a median of $45,331 for marketing, measured about one year after completion. It comes from federal College Scorecard reporting for the students included in that program's earnings measure - not a salary offered to every Butler marketing graduate.

A median divides the measured group into two halves; individual outcomes vary. Early earnings can also reflect occupation, location, further study, work hours, and prior experience. Because comparable one-year figures are not published for every Butler field, this single marketing measure should not be used to rank all of the university's majors or estimate the return on a particular student's tuition investment.

Butler offers career support that is separate from these earnings statistics, including individual planning, résumé assistance, interview preparation, employer events, and alumni networking. Access to those services is not an employment or salary guarantee.
