What are the graduation rates for students at Herzing University-Akron?

Herzing University-Akron's reported overall graduation rate is 19%, and its reported student retention rate is 25%. These are cohort measures, not predictions of whether an individual student will finish.

The overall graduation measure follows a defined group of entering students for a specified period tied to the normal length of their credential. The separately reported four-year and six-year bachelor's graduation rates are both 0%; they should not be added to, or treated as interchangeable with, the overall rate because the measures can cover different cohorts and timelines. Retention generally tracks whether eligible first-time students return for the next academic year.

These results make completion planning especially important. Applicants can ask their intended program for its recent completion figures, course availability, typical clinical-placement sequence and the consequences of taking a term off. The published rates alone do not establish why students left or whether transfers completed degrees elsewhere.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Herzing University-Akron?

Field-of-study earnings figures can help applicants compare possible outcomes, but they are not starting-salary offers or a forecast for an individual Herzing University-Akron student. The reported College Scorecard measure concerns earnings roughly one year after completion for the students included in that federal measure; it does not describe every graduate.

Reported figures include $62,336 for registered nursing and related nursing fields, $53,952 for computer programming, and $52,717 for criminal justice and corrections. Health and medical administrative services is reported at $38,542. Differences can reflect occupation, location, prior experience, further study and which former students have earnings captured in the measure.

Applicants should read each figure alongside the exact credential, the underlying cohort and local job requirements. Earnings data do not show how much a student borrowed, whether the work required a license, or how long it took to secure a position.
