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

In 2024-25 institutional reporting, Glenville State University's overall graduation rate was 34%. The reported four-year rate was also 34%, while the six-year rate was 35%. These figures describe defined entering cohorts over specified measurement periods, not the chance that any individual student will graduate.

The reported student retention rate was 55%. Retention generally tracks whether first-time students return the following fall, so it answers a different question from graduation. Likewise, a four-year and a six-year graduation figure may refer to different entering cohorts; they should not be read as a single group's year-by-year progress.

Transfers, part-time students, and returning adult learners may not be represented in the same way as first-time, full-time entrants in standard graduation measures. Students comparing institutions should consider those definitions and ask their intended department about course sequencing, advising, and how often required classes are offered.

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

College Scorecard field-of-study data provide a limited view of earnings about one year after completion for certain Glenville State University programs. The figures represent reported median earnings for the measured, federally aided population - not a starting salary offered to every graduate or a forecast of long-term income.

Among the reported fields, environmental and natural resources management and policy had a one-year figure of $35,469. The figure for teacher education focused on specific levels and methods was $33,479; business administration, management and operations was $27,669.

These are program-level measurements, not controlled comparisons among majors. They can reflect differences in occupations, location, hours worked, graduate study, and the graduates included in the measurement. A prospective student should weigh them alongside program cost, expected borrowing, licensing requirements, and the kinds of jobs available in the field.
