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

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.

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

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.
