What are the graduation rates for students at Delaware Valley University?

Delaware Valley University reports a four-year graduation rate of 45% and a six-year rate of 56% for the relevant first-time, full-time undergraduate cohorts. These measures follow different periods of time; they are not the percentage of all current students expected to graduate.

The six-year figure is close to the reported overall graduation rate of 56%. The reported first-year retention rate is 69%, meaning roughly seven in ten students in the measured cohort returned the following fall. Transfer students, part-time students, and graduate students may have different outcomes that these first-time undergraduate measures do not capture.

For a prospective student, the practical question is whether the intended major's required courses and experiential work can fit a four-year plan. Additional terms of enrollment can change the total price of a degree even when a student's annual aid offer remains similar.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Delaware Valley University?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures report median earnings measured one year after completion for federally aided graduates with reportable data. They describe past cohorts in particular programs, not a salary promised to a new student.

• Agricultural business and management: $47,478.
• Business administration, management, and operations: $43,266.
• Animal sciences: $31,543.
• Biology: $29,127.
• Wildlife and wildlands science and management: $24,848.

These figures are useful for comparing reported early outcomes, but they do not account for every graduate or fully describe career prospects. Small program cohorts, further study, part-time work, location, and the short period after completion can affect the numbers. Students should weigh them alongside program costs, likely borrowing, and the qualifications required for their intended career.
