DeSales University

What are the graduation rates for students at DeSales University?

DeSales' reported four-year graduation rate is 64%, while its six-year rate is 72%. These figures describe the share of a defined entering cohort of first-time, full-time students who completed a degree within each period; they are not predictions for an individual applicant.

The reported first-year retention rate is 83%, meaning that share of the measured entering group continued into the following year. Transfer students, part-time students, and students in programs with different timelines may have different experiences. Applicants comparing colleges should use the same cohort definition and reporting period for each institution.

What is the earning potential for graduates at DeSales University?

Program-level earnings estimates offer a limited view of what former DeSales students earned approximately one year after completing a field of study. Reported figures include $67,552 for registered nursing and $49,561 for business administration; they are not starting-salary offers or guaranteed outcomes.

The estimates are most useful when comparing the same field across institutions. They reflect graduates with earnings captured in the underlying federal data, not necessarily every graduate, and can be affected by further study, work hours, location, occupation, and the size of a program's measured group. For example, the reported one-year figure for biology is $39,040, but some biology graduates may enter graduate or professional education rather than full-time work immediately.

Students should consider these figures alongside program costs, typical borrowing, licensure requirements, and the kinds of jobs they actually want. Career support and observed earnings are also different measures: access to an internship or career counselor does not establish a particular employment outcome.
