Fairleigh Dickinson University-Metropolitan Campus

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

Reported graduation data show a 41% four-year graduation rate and a 54% six-year rate for the measured first-time, full-time undergraduate cohorts. These figures describe how groups of entering students progressed over fixed periods; they do not predict whether an individual student will finish.

The longer measurement window captures students who took more than four years to graduate. FDU's reported first-year retention rate is 77%, indicating the share of the relevant first-time cohort that returned the following fall. Retention and graduation are different measures: returning for a second year does not establish eventual completion.

Standard federal graduation cohorts exclude many transfer and part-time entrants. Transfer applicants and adult learners should therefore ask for outcomes relevant to their own enrollment pattern, along with a degree audit showing the likely time needed to finish their intended major.

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

College Scorecard program data provide one view of earnings roughly one year after completion for graduates represented in federal-aid records. They are program-level median earnings for the measured population, not starting-salary offers or a forecast for every graduate.

Examples reported for FDU include $76,711 in registered nursing, $46,369 in finance, $39,228 in computer and information sciences, and $28,529 in psychology. Differences can reflect occupations, additional education, location, employment patterns, and the size or composition of the measured group. A one-year figure may be especially incomplete for fields in which further study is common.

These data are most useful when paired with program costs, likely borrowing, completion prospects, and information about the jobs graduates actually pursue. They should not be interpreted as a guarantee of employment or earnings, or as a campus-specific result where a university program is offered at more than one location.
