East Texas A&M's reported four-year graduation rate is 29%, while its six-year rate is 43%. These bachelor's-degree completion measures track a defined entering cohort - typically first-time, full-time students - rather than every undergraduate who attends the university.
The reported first-year retention rate is 57%. Retention measures whether students return for the next year; it is not a graduation rate. Transfer students, part-time students, and people who finish at another institution may not be represented in the headline completion measure in the way a reader expects. For a prospective student, the figures make it worthwhile to examine the course sequence for a chosen major, how often required classes run, and what academic advising is available if a plan changes.
Federal College Scorecard program figures offer a limited look at earnings one year after completion for former students included in its data. Reported examples for East Texas A&M include $61,402 for registered nursing, $55,473 for general computer and information sciences, and $46,292 for accounting and related services. The comparable figure for animal sciences is $22,944.
These are program-level earnings measures, not starting-salary offers or predictions for an applicant. They may combine people with different jobs and locations, and the available observations depend on the program, credential, and federal data coverage. One year is also a short window: some fields require further training or licensure, while earnings can change substantially with experience. Students comparing majors should consider completion costs, likely career paths, and licensing requirements alongside the reported amounts.
