What are the graduation rates for students at Heritage University?

Heritage's reported four-year graduation rate is 24%, while its six-year rate is 52%, according to IPEDS 2024-25 figures. The difference indicates that finishing within the traditional four-year schedule and finishing with additional time are substantially different outcomes for the students counted.

These rates are cohort measures, generally tracking first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree. They should not be read as the graduation probability of every transfer student, part-time student, or graduate student. A separately reported overall graduation figure is 54%; differing measures or cohorts should not be combined into a single completion rate.

The reported student retention rate is 57%. Retention measures whether students return for a subsequent year, not whether they eventually earn a degree. Applicants comparing completion figures should consider the schedule their major requires and how many courses they can realistically take each term.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Heritage University?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures provide limited, early-career earnings information for some Heritage programs. The reported one-year-after-completion median is $45,362 for teacher education focused on specific levels and methods.

Other reported one-year medians are $39,904 for business administration and management, $37,483 for criminal justice and corrections, and $33,246 for social work. These figures describe earnings observed for federally aided completers included in the relevant reporting population; they are not starting-salary offers or predictions for every graduate. Work hours, local labor markets, further education, and occupation can all affect an individual's earnings.

Small program cohorts and privacy rules can limit field-level reporting. Students comparing majors should also consider licensure requirements, likely job duties, and the cost and time needed to complete the credential - not earnings alone.
