What are the graduation rates for students at Daemen University?

Daemen's reported six-year graduation rate is 59%, while its four-year rate is 47%. These figures describe completion within specified time windows for the first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort used in federal reporting; they are not predictions for an individual student.

The reported first-year retention rate is 76%, meaning roughly three-quarters of the relevant first-time, full-time group returned the following fall. Transfer students, part-time students, and students entering graduate programs can have different paths that these measures do not fully capture. Applicants comparing programs should also consider course sequencing and any clinical-placement requirements that could affect their own timeline.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Daemen University?

Field-specific earnings can offer context, but Daemen does not have one salary outcome that represents all of its degrees. College Scorecard figures reported for October 2026 include median earnings of $70,287 for the registered nursing program and $30,206 for health services or allied health sciences, measured about one year after completion for graduates included in the applicable federal earnings measure.

These are observations for particular programs and reporting populations, not starting salaries promised to future students. Credential level, whether a graduate continues studying, location, occupation, and the number of graduates represented can all affect interpretation. Students should compare earnings alongside likely borrowing and the qualifications needed for their intended work.
