What are the graduation rates for students at High Point University?

Reported High Point University graduation figures include a 66% four-year rate and a 72% six-year rate. These measures follow defined groups of entering students; they are not the percentage of all students, including transfers and graduate students, who finish in those periods.

The separately reported overall graduation rate is 74%, and the student retention rate is 85%. These figures should not be substituted for one another: retention measures continued enrollment over a shorter interval, while graduation measures degree completion for a specified cohort and time frame. Rates can also differ because of the populations and reporting definitions used. None of the figures predicts whether a particular student will graduate on time, especially when transfer credit, a change of major or program sequencing affects the path to a degree.

What is the earning potential for graduates at High Point University?

College Scorecard program data report earnings measured one year after completion for some High Point University fields. The measure is a median for the federally aided completers represented in that program's reported data, not a starting salary promised to every graduate.

  • Business administration, management and operations: $41,062.
  • Design and applied arts: $40,246.
  • Psychology, general: $26,897.

Other reported one-year figures include $40,065 for a communication-related program and $35,708 for human resources management and services. Program categories used in federal data may cover more than one institutional major. These figures do not adjust for location, hours worked, further education or career changes, and one year is a short window for assessing a degree's long-term value. They are most useful alongside a program's cost, graduation path and the kinds of work its graduates pursue.
