CUNY Brooklyn College

What are the graduation rates for students at CUNY Brooklyn College?

Brooklyn College's reported six-year graduation rate is 54% for the measured cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree. The reported four-year rate is 34%. These figures show that completion within six years is more common than completion within four for that cohort.

Federal graduation-rate measures follow a defined entering group; they do not describe every undergraduate. Transfer students, who make up a substantial part of Brooklyn College's incoming population, are not represented in the standard first-time cohort in the same way. The reported first-year retention rate is 80%, meaning that roughly four in five students in the measured group returned the following year.

Students comparing graduation rates should consider both the cohort definition and their own course plan. A transfer-credit evaluation, required course sequences, and the number of credits taken each term can all affect an individual timeline, even though these statistics cannot establish why a particular student does or does not finish.

What is the earning potential for graduates at CUNY Brooklyn College?

Federal College Scorecard program figures report earnings measured one year after completion for eligible former students with measurable earnings. They are not starting-salary offers to every graduate, and they do not predict what an individual student will make.

Reported program-level median figures include $48,399 for computer and information sciences, general; $38,068 for accounting and related services; and $31,321 for communication and media studies. These figures should not be read as a ranking of majors. Programs can differ in degree level, the share of graduates who continue their education, geographic job markets, and the size of the group for which an earnings figure can be calculated.

For a useful comparison, students should pair earnings information with program-specific questions: What credential does the figure cover? How many graduates are represented? Does the field commonly require graduate education or a license? One-year earnings capture only an early point in a career.
