CUNY Hunter College

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

Hunter's reported six-year graduation rate is 57% for the applicable first-time, full-time bachelor's-degree cohort. Its reported four-year rate is 38%. These measures track defined entering cohorts over different periods; they are not the share of all current students expected to graduate on those schedules.

The reported first-year retention rate is 78%, meaning that roughly that share of the measured first-time cohort returned the following fall under the reporting definition. Transfer students and part-time entrants can have different paths that these particular graduation measures do not capture well. For a prospective student, course sequencing, required prerequisites, major admission, and the number of credits taken each term may be more useful planning details than a college-wide rate alone.

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

College Scorecard program data offer a limited view of earnings one year after completion for former students included in its federal-aid-linked earnings measures. The figures are program-level medians for the measured population, not starting-salary offers or predictions for every graduate.

Among Hunter programs with reported figures, registered nursing shows $91,886; clinical or medical laboratory science, $59,118; and computer science, $55,652. Other reported examples include accounting at $43,643 and psychology at $27,951. Differences can reflect occupation, further study, work hours, local labor markets, and which former students have earnings in the underlying records. A one-year measure also says little about longer-term earnings and should be considered alongside program costs, licensing requirements, and career interests.
