What are the graduation rates for students at Cameron University?

Cameron's reported overall graduation rate is 31%, while its reported four-year and six-year rates are 23% and 38%, respectively. These figures describe defined reporting groups and time periods; they should not be treated as three measurements of one identical group of students.

Federal graduation-rate measures commonly follow first-time, full-time students who begin a credential at the reporting institution. They do not capture every transfer student or part-time student's path. Cameron's reported student retention rate is 67%, another measure that addresses continued enrollment rather than completion.

For an applicant, the useful question is how a particular degree plan can be completed on schedule. Required courses may have prerequisites or limited offerings, and a student's work hours or transfer credits can change the timeline. An adviser can help map the remaining courses term by term; the institution-wide rate alone cannot predict an individual outcome.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Cameron University?

Available field-of-study figures describe earnings measured about one year after completion, not a salary promised to every graduate. The College Scorecard measure reflects a defined group of federally aided completers with reported earnings and should be interpreted alongside a program's size, career paths, and opportunities for further study.

  • Teacher education, specific levels and methods: $35,221
  • Biology: $34,701
  • Psychology: $22,918
  • Criminal justice and corrections: $26,629
  • Business administration, management and operations: $28,335

These are program-level, one-year figures, not a comparison of otherwise identical students. Some careers require graduate education or licensure, while others have pay that changes considerably with experience. A prospective student can use the numbers as one point of reference, but should not infer a lifetime return on a degree from an early earnings measure.
