What are the graduation rates for students at Edgewood University?

About 60% of Edgewood University's first-time, full-time bachelor's students completed a degree within six years, according to IPEDS 2024-25 reporting. The four-year rate was about 44%.

These rates follow a defined entering cohort; they do not represent the completion experience of every transfer, part-time, or graduate student. The difference between the four- and six-year figures shows why a student's budget should allow for the possibility of additional terms. The reported first-year retention rate was 73%, meaning roughly that share of first-time students returned for a second year under the measure used.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Edgewood University?

College Scorecard program data report median earnings one year after completion for some Edgewood University graduates who received federal student aid and could be matched to earnings records. These figures describe past groups, not a salary an individual graduate can expect.

  • Registered nursing: $67,175.
  • Business administration and management: $61,430.
  • Teacher education for specific levels and methods: $40,131.
  • Psychology: $27,940.

Program comparisons require care: sample sizes, occupations, further education, work hours, and the mix of credentials can differ. One-year earnings also omit much of a graduate's later career. Students comparing fields should consider placement requirements, likely additional degrees or licenses, and borrowing alongside the reported median.
