What are the graduation rates for students at City University of Seattle?

Graduation rates need particular care at City University of Seattle because its students include transfers, graduate students, and adults returning to education. The familiar federal four- and six-year bachelor's graduation measures follow a defined group of first-time, full-time students; they do not describe the completion experience of every student who enrolls.

For a more useful comparison, ask the university for recent completion information specific to the degree and entry route under consideration. A transfer applicant, for example, should also examine the written transfer-credit evaluation and remaining course sequence. A graduate applicant should focus on that program's completion requirements and typical course availability rather than an undergraduate cohort measure.

What is the earning potential for graduates at City University of Seattle?

College Scorecard program data report median earnings measured one year after completion for some City University of Seattle fields. The reported figure for business administration, management and operations is $79,719; for education, general, it is $45,564.

These are program-level observations, not salary offers or estimates for every graduate. College Scorecard earnings measures cover a defined population of federally aided completers with earnings records, and the figures can combine people with different prior work experience, locations, and job histories. Applicants should check the credential level and cohort attached to a program record before comparing it with another school. Earnings also leave out employment conditions, debt, and the cost of completing the degree.
