What are the graduation rates for students at Georgian Court University?

Georgian Court University's reported six-year graduation rate is 54% for the measured group of first-time, full-time students pursuing bachelor's degrees. Its reported four-year rate is 23%. These are cohort measures: they follow eligible entrants over a defined period rather than describing every current student, transfer student, or graduate student.

The reported first-year retention rate is 76%, meaning roughly three-quarters of the measured first-time students returned for the following fall. Retention and graduation answer different questions, and neither figure explains why an individual student stayed, transferred, stopped out, or completed a degree. Students comparing schools should also consider whether their intended major has a fixed course sequence that could affect time to completion.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Georgian Court University?

Field-of-study earnings figures offer a limited view of former students' pay approximately one year after completing a program. Reported one-year figures include $66,857 for registered nursing and related nursing programs, $36,195 for criminal justice and corrections, and $29,324 for psychology.

These College Scorecard program figures are median earnings for the federally aided students represented in the underlying earnings records, not starting-salary offers or a prediction for every graduate. A median is the midpoint of the reported earnings distribution. Coverage and cohort size can differ by program, and the measure does not account for every student's work hours, location, further education, or later career progression.

Other reported one-year figures include $34,714 for biology and $33,694 for business administration. When comparing majors, students should weigh these early earnings alongside likely graduate-school requirements, licensing steps, borrowing, and the work they actually hope to pursue.
