What are the graduation rates for students at Frostburg State University?

Frostburg State University's reported six-year graduation rate is 50% for the relevant cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree. Its four-year rate is 33%. These measures follow an entering group over different periods; they are not percentages of all current students who graduate in a given year.

The reported first-year retention rate is 69%, meaning roughly seven in ten students in the measured first-time cohort returned the following fall. Transfer students, part-time students, and students who finish at another institution are not fully described by the standard first-time graduation measure. Applicants comparing programs should therefore ask about advising, course availability, and program-specific progression rather than treating the institution-wide rate as a prediction of their own outcome.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Frostburg State University?

College Scorecard program-level figures report median earnings measured one year after completion for federally aided students in programs with publishable results. They describe past groups with recorded earnings, not a starting-salary offer or a forecast for every graduate.

For Frostburg programs with reported figures, the one-year median was $70,789 in registered nursing and $58,995 in general engineering. Computer science was reported at $53,431, teacher education for specific levels and methods at $42,494, and business administration at $37,978. Differences can reflect occupations, further study, geography, hours worked, and the students represented in each measure; they should not be interpreted as the effect of choosing a major alone.

A student evaluating career prospects should compare the precise degree and occupation of interest. An early earnings figure does not capture later growth, graduate-school enrollment, job satisfaction, or the cost of obtaining any required professional license.
