Historical Ann Arbor graduation reporting shows a six-year graduation rate of approximately 49% and a four-year rate of approximately 33%. These figures describe earlier cohorts of first-time, full-time students; they are not forecasts for a student entering a program now.
The longer measurement period captures students who finish after the conventional four years, so the two rates answer different questions. Historical first-year retention was reported at 45%, indicating that fewer than half of the measured group returned the following fall under that reporting definition. Transfer students, part-time students, and students affected by subsequent campus changes may have different paths that these cohort measures do not describe. Applicants comparing completion outcomes should use the program and campus arrangement that would actually apply to them.
College Scorecard field-of-study figures offer a limited view of earnings about one year after completion for covered graduates. They should not be read as starting-salary offers, guarantees, or Ann Arbor-only outcomes: federal program reporting can combine students across locations and credential levels, and its covered population does not represent every graduate.
Examples in the reported fields include approximately $60,865 for registered nursing and $48,397 for computer science. The reported figure for teacher education focused on specific subject areas is approximately $37,976. Differences among fields can reflect occupation, geography, further study, hours worked, and the graduates included in a particular measure - not simply the effect of attending one campus.
Prospective students can use these figures to frame questions about typical jobs and required credentials. They cannot use them to calculate an individual return on investment without considering the price they would pay, borrowing, completion time, and whether the program is currently available at Ann Arbor.
