CUNY Medgar Evers College

What are the graduation rates for students at CUNY Medgar Evers College?

Medgar Evers College's reported six-year graduation rate is 20% for the measured cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree. Its four-year rate is 8%. These figures make on-time completion an especially important planning question for prospective students.

Federal graduation-rate measures track a defined entering cohort, not every student attending the college. In particular, they do not describe the eventual outcomes of all transfer students or students who began part-time. The reported first-year retention rate is 50%, meaning about half of the students in that measured first-time cohort returned the following fall.

The rates alone do not explain why students leave, pause, transfer, or take longer to finish. Applicants can ask their intended department how often required courses are offered, whether prerequisites form a rigid sequence, and what academic advising is available to help them build a realistic completion plan.

What is the earning potential for graduates at CUNY Medgar Evers College?

Program-level earnings figures for Medgar Evers College describe reported median earnings of federally aided completers about one year after finishing a program. They are observations about past students, not starting-salary offers or predictions for future graduates.

Among the reported fields, registered nursing has a one-year figure of $94,129. Other examples include special education and teaching at $43,960, accounting at $38,797, and psychology at $32,154. Comparisons require care: programs lead to different occupations, credentials, and licensing pathways, while graduates may work different hours or continue their education. A one-year measure also misses later career changes and does not account for the costs of obtaining a degree.

The college reports career support such as individual counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, employer events, and job-search resources. Availability of those services should not be confused with a verified job-placement rate.
