What are the graduation rates for students at Franklin University?

Franklin University's reported overall graduation rate in 2024-25 IPEDS data is 11%. Reported four-year and six-year rates are each 3%. These figures warrant attention, but they do not describe the completion prospects of every student who enrolls.

Federal graduation-rate measures follow defined entering cohorts over specified periods. They can be a particularly narrow picture at a university with many transfer and part-time learners: students who arrive with college credit are not necessarily represented in the familiar first-time, full-time cohort rate. The reported first-year retention rate is 36%, another measure whose population and enrollment definition should be checked before applying it to an individual study plan.

For a clearer comparison, prospective students can ask Franklin for outcomes for their program and applicant category - particularly transfer versus first-time entry - and for the expected time to completion at the number of credits they plan to take each term. A low cohort rate identifies a question worth investigating; by itself, it does not establish why students did or did not finish.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Franklin University?

Federal College Scorecard program data reports earnings for some Franklin University fields one year after completion. The figures are program-level outcomes for the students represented in that measure, not starting salaries promised to every graduate.

• Computer and information sciences, general: $55,444.
• Business administration, management and operations: $47,825.
• Accounting and related services: $47,252.
• Health and medical administrative services: $41,982.
• Criminal justice and corrections: $37,442.

College Scorecard earnings measures reflect graduates with earnings records that can be matched to the underlying federal data; they do not describe every graduate's job, hours worked or location. Differences among fields can also reflect prior work experience and local labor markets. Students comparing programs should consider these figures alongside tuition, borrowing, completion prospects and any licensing requirements - not as a forecast of their own pay.
