What are the graduation rates for students at Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University?

FranU's reported overall graduation rate is 45%, while the reported four-year rate is 23% and the six-year rate is 44%. These figures use defined reporting cohorts and time periods; they should not be read as the probability that any particular student will graduate.

Graduation-rate measures commonly focus on first-time, full-time entrants. That limits their usefulness for transfer students and other students whose enrollment paths differ from the measured cohort. FranU also reports a 64% student retention rate, which measures continued enrollment over a different interval rather than degree completion.

For a program-level decision, ask about the recent completion rate for the specific degree, the usual time to finish after admission to that program, and whether prerequisites or clinical placements can extend the schedule. Those questions are especially relevant when comparing a four-year budget with a program that has a separate clinical-admission stage.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University?

College Scorecard field-of-study data report earnings of $63,631 one year after completion for the institution's registered-nursing field. This is an observed earnings measure for a defined group of former students, not a starting-salary offer or a prediction for every nursing graduate.

Federal field-of-study earnings measures generally concern former students who received federal financial aid and meet the measure's employment and enrollment criteria. They may not represent everyone who completed the program. The figure also does not show the full distribution of pay, hours worked, local cost of living, or debt.

A prospective student can use the measure as one point of comparison, then examine the intended credential, licensing requirements, likely borrowing, and employment market. It should not be applied to FranU's other majors or to nursing credentials that differ from the reported field.
