What are the graduation rates for students at Greenville University?

Greenville University's reported six-year graduation rate is 40% for the measured first-time student cohort; its four-year rate is 33%. These are cohort measures, not predictions for an individual applicant or completion rates for every transfer, graduate, or part-time student.

The reported first-year retention rate is 71%, meaning that roughly seven in ten students in the measured cohort continued into the following year. Together, retention and graduation figures help applicants frame questions about advising, course availability, and progress toward a degree. They do not, on their own, establish why a student left or how long a particular student will take to finish.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Greenville University?

Early-career pay varies too much by occupation, location, continued education, and employment circumstances to treat a Greenville University degree as carrying a single salary. A figure measured one year after completion would capture only an early point in a graduate's working life.

When comparing earnings in tools such as the federal College Scorecard, applicants should check whether a figure is a median, which graduates are counted, and when earnings were measured. Program-level results may represent only graduates who received federal aid and met the reporting criteria. Students can pair that information with occupation-level wage data and Greenville's career support, rather than treating a salary estimate as a promised outcome.
