Cheyney University of Pennsylvania

What are the graduation rates for students at Cheyney University of Pennsylvania?

Reported IPEDS outcomes show a 32% four-year graduation rate and a 41% six-year graduation rate. These measures follow defined cohorts of first-time, full-time students; they do not describe every transfer, part-time, or returning adult student.

The reported first-year retention rate is 69%, measuring the share of a qualifying entering group that returned the following fall. Graduation rates have varied across cohorts, so a single year should not be read as a prediction for an individual applicant. Students comparing institutions should use the same cohort definition and ask how their own transfer credits, course sequence, and intended major could affect time to completion.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Cheyney University of Pennsylvania?

College Scorecard program data report median earnings measured one year after completion for some Cheyney fields. The reported figures are $44,892 for business administration, $36,970 for liberal arts and general studies, and $28,764 for sociology.

These are program-level, one-year earnings measures for the graduates represented in the federal data, not starting-salary offers or estimates for every person who completes those majors. Earnings can reflect occupation, location, work hours, further study, and the size of the measured group. A student comparing majors should consider the curriculum and likely career paths alongside the reported figure, rather than treating it as a guaranteed return.
