What are the graduation rates for students at Fairleigh Dickinson University-Florham Campus?

Reported Florham Campus outcomes show a 58% four-year graduation rate and a 66% six-year graduation rate. These measures follow defined entering groups of students over different periods; they do not predict whether a particular student will finish on time.

The reported overall graduation rate is 67%, while first-year retention is 78%. Retention measures whether students return after their first year, not whether they eventually earn a degree. Graduation-rate measures also need to be read with their cohort definitions in mind: transfers, part-time students, and students entering some graduate programs may not be represented in the same way as first-time, full-time undergraduates.

For a student weighing the cost of attendance, the distinction between four and six years matters. An additional year can bring more tuition and living expenses even when a student ultimately completes the degree. Program-specific course sequences, transferred credits, and the availability of required classes may affect an individual timeline.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Fairleigh Dickinson University-Florham Campus?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings one year after program completion for eligible federally aided completers with earnings data. They are historical measures for defined groups, not starting-salary offers or estimates for every graduate of a major.

In the reported figures, the one-year median is $76,711 for registered nursing and $46,369 for finance. Other examples include $42,227 for accounting, $39,228 for computer and information sciences, and $28,529 for psychology. These differences should not be interpreted as the effect of the degree alone: occupations, location, prior experience, further study, and the number of graduates represented can all matter.

Some programs do not have a publishable figure, and one year is a short window for fields in which graduates commonly continue their education or build experience before entering their intended occupation. Applicants should compare earnings alongside program cost, likely borrowing, licensure requirements, and the kinds of work the degree prepares them to seek.
