What are the graduation rates for students at Capital University?

Capital University's reported six-year graduation rate is 60% for the measured first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort. Its four-year rate is 55%, meaning more students in that cohort finished within four years than needed an additional fifth or sixth year to complete.

These federal graduation-rate measures do not describe every student. Transfer students, part-time entrants, and some returning adults follow different paths and are not represented in the standard first-time, full-time cohort in the same way. Capital's reported first-year retention rate is 76%; that measures whether students returned the following year, not whether they ultimately graduated. Students comparing programs should also consider major-specific course sequences and the possibility that changing majors can extend time to completion.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Capital University?

Reported early-career earnings vary substantially by Capital University program. College Scorecard program figures measure earnings about one year after completion for the graduates included in the federal data; they are not starting-salary offers or predictions for an individual student.

Among the reported examples, the one-year figure is $60,295 for registered nursing, $50,376 for accounting, and $42,497 for business administration. Other reported figures include $35,744 for special education and $26,507 for psychology. Differences may reflect occupation, location, further study, hours worked, and which graduates can be included in a program's federal earnings measure. A one-year figure is particularly limited for fields in which graduate education is common.

Career support and earnings outcomes should also be kept separate. Capital reports services such as individual career counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, job fairs, employer contacts, and alumni networking. Those services offer ways to plan and search; they do not establish that a particular graduate will secure a job or reach a stated salary.
