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

IPEDS 2024-25 reporting lists an overall graduation rate of 28% for Herzing University-Madison. It also reports a four-year rate of 13% and a six-year rate of 22%, alongside a student retention rate of 40%.

These figures describe defined student cohorts and measurement periods; they are not the probability that any particular applicant will finish. In particular, conventional graduation-rate measures emphasize first-time, full-time students and may not capture the experience of transfer students or adults attending part time. The rates also should not be read as interchangeable: a four-year and a six-year figure can reflect different cohorts or reporting definitions.

Applicants can ask for outcomes specific to their intended credential, including completion within the program's expected length, transfer-student outcomes and any required licensing-exam results.

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

College Scorecard program data report earnings measured one year after completion for some Herzing fields of study. These are observed outcomes for the students represented in the federal data, not salary offers or predictions for every graduate.

Reported one-year figures include $62,336 for registered nursing, $53,952 for computer programming and $46,040 for business administration. Health and medical administrative services is reported at $38,542. The differences illustrate why the intended program matters more than a single university-wide earnings figure.

Scorecard earnings measures generally reflect students included in federal administrative records and can exclude people whose earnings are not captured. They do not show take-home pay, local wages, job satisfaction or the cost of obtaining the credential. Applicants should compare the relevant program's earnings figure with its total borrowing and with licensing or experience requirements in their intended career.
