Reported completion outcomes for Herzing University-Atlanta warrant close attention. The IPEDS 2024-25 figures list an overall graduation rate of 14%, a four-year rate of 12% and a six-year rate of 18%. These measures should not be read as successive results for every student who enrolled: graduation-rate calculations use defined entry cohorts and time periods, and the figures may reflect different cohorts.
A reported first-year retention rate of 25% is another reason to ask about persistence within the intended program. Federal graduation measures often focus on first-time, full-time entrants, so they may not represent the experience of transfer students or adults studying part time. Applicants can request recent, program-level information on completion, course scheduling and - where relevant - licensure-exam outcomes to put the institution-wide figures in context. The rates alone do not establish why students left or how any one applicant will fare.
College Scorecard program figures report earnings measured one year after completion for certain fields associated with Herzing University-Atlanta. Reported annual figures include $62,336 for registered nursing, $53,952 for computer programming and $52,717 for criminal justice and corrections. Health and medical administrative services is reported at $38,542.
These are field-specific observations, not starting salaries promised to graduates. They should not be treated as the earnings of every Atlanta graduate: outcomes can depend on the credential, the students included in the measure, employment status, location and prior work experience. One-year earnings also say little about later career growth or the debt a student incurred to earn the credential. Applicants comparing programs should examine the matching program and credential rather than using a figure from another field.
