California State University-Dominguez Hills

What are the graduation rates for students at California State University-Dominguez Hills?

In IPEDS 2024-25 reporting, CSUDH's six-year graduation rate was 43% for the measured cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree. Its four-year rate was 20%. These figures describe how particular entering cohorts progressed within fixed time limits, not the probability that any individual applicant will graduate.

The reported first-year retention rate was 74%, indicating the share of the relevant first-time cohort that returned the following fall. Transfer students, part-time entrants, and students who take longer than the reporting window are not fully described by the standard first-time, full-time graduation measure. A prospective transfer student should therefore seek transfer-specific completion information as well as a realistic degree plan for their major.

What is the earning potential for graduates at California State University-Dominguez Hills?

College Scorecard program-level figures report earnings measured about one year after completion for covered former students; they are not starting-salary offers or guarantees. Reported amounts differ sharply across fields and should be read alongside the program's credential level and the population represented in the Scorecard measure.

For example, the reported one-year figure is approximately $102,298 for registered nursing and $40,252 for business administration, management, and operations. Computer science is approximately $42,986, while general psychology is approximately $28,178. Nursing's figure may reflect a different route into work, including prior experience or licensure, than the route taken by a new graduate in another field.

These are program-level observations, not estimates of what every graduate earns. Employment, graduate study, hours worked, local labor markets, and prior experience can all affect an individual outcome. The figures are most useful when compared with programs of the same credential level and similar reporting methods.
