East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania

What are the graduation rates for students at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania?

ESU's reported four-year graduation rate is 29%, and its six-year rate is 43%. These measures follow a defined cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree; they do not describe the completion prospects of every transfer student or adult learner.

The university's reported first-year retention rate is 72%, measuring the share of first-time students who returned the following fall. Retention and graduation answer different questions: a student can return for a second year without completing a degree, while a student who transfers and graduates elsewhere may not count as an ESU graduate in these rates. For an applicant, the figures make it worthwhile to examine a major's course sequence, advising access and likely time to completion rather than assume a four-year finish.

What is the earning potential for graduates at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings for federally aided former students at a specified point after completion; they are not a salary promised to everyone with a degree. In the reported one-year-after-completion data, the median for registered nursing was $67,383, compared with $58,310 for computer and information sciences and $37,427 for business administration and management.

These are program-level medians for the measured population, not starting salaries for every graduate or forecasts of lifetime income. Results can be affected by the occupations graduates enter, their location, further study and whether enough records exist for a figure to be reported. Someone comparing majors should look at the exact credential and field, the measurement year and longer-term outcomes where available. Career counseling and job-search assistance are useful services, but their availability is not evidence that an individual student will receive a particular job offer.
