What are the graduation rates for students at East-West University?

East-West University's reported overall graduation rate is 16% in the 2024-25 institutional figures. Reported four-year and six-year graduation measures are each 19%. These figures warrant attention, but they should not be treated as three measurements of every student who enrolled in the same year.

Federal graduation measures generally follow defined cohorts of first-time, full-time students over specified periods. They do not describe every transfer student or every adult and part-time learner. The reported first-year retention rate is 37%, indicating that a substantial share of the measured entering group did not return the following year. Applicants can use these measures to ask specific questions about course availability, advising, financial-aid renewal, and support after the first term; the statistics alone do not establish why students left or how an individual applicant will fare.

What is the earning potential for graduates at East-West University?

A College Scorecard field-of-study figure reports $25,046 in earnings one year after completion for business administration, management, and operations. It is a reported outcome for a defined group, not a starting-salary offer or a prediction of what every business graduate will earn.

Field-of-study earnings measures can depend on which former students have usable earnings records and when income is measured. One-year income also reflects occupation, hours worked, local labor markets, and further education. Applicants comparing programs should consider this figure alongside program cost, likely borrowing, completion outcomes, and their own career plans.
