What are the graduation rates for students at Gwynedd Mercy University?

Reported graduation measures show a 46% four-year rate and a 65% six-year rate for the applicable first-time, full-time undergraduate cohorts. The difference illustrates why a four-year figure alone does not describe everyone who eventually completes a degree.

A separately reported overall graduation rate is 57%, and first-year retention is 78%. These measures can refer to different reporting definitions or entering cohorts, so they should not be added together or read as the outcomes of all current students. In particular, standard first-time-student graduation rates do not describe transfer students or adults entering with prior credits. Students comparing programs should ask about completion and time-to-degree in their intended major, especially where a required course or placement can affect scheduling.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Gwynedd Mercy University?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings about one year after completion for graduates included in the federal earnings measure. They are descriptive outcomes for particular programs and student populations - not starting-salary offers or predictions of what a future graduate will earn.

Among the reported figures, registered nursing is $70,087, allied health diagnostic and treatment professions is $63,529, and business administration and management is $45,042. Teacher education for specific levels and methods is reported at $35,752; criminal justice and corrections is $31,758. The field labels can encompass more than one credential or occupational path, so applicants should compare the exact degree level and program behind a figure.

One-year earnings leave out much of a career trajectory and do not measure job satisfaction, graduate study, local living costs, or the debt needed to complete a degree. They are most useful alongside program costs, licensure outcomes where relevant, and the work graduates actually pursue.
