What are the graduation rates for students at Holy Family University?

Reported graduation figures show that about 42% of Holy Family University students in the relevant first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort completed within four years; the six-year figure was about 60%. These measures track a defined entering cohort, not every undergraduate, transfer student, or graduate student.

The difference between the four- and six-year rates matters financially: additional semesters can mean more tuition and living expenses, even when a student ultimately completes a degree. The reported first-year retention rate was 78%, measuring how many students returned after their first year rather than how many graduated. Applicants should consider these figures alongside the course sequence and typical time to completion for their intended major.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Holy Family University?

Federal College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings measured one year after completion for certain former Holy Family students. They are historical outcomes for specific groups, not starting-salary offers or predictions for a new applicant.

For example, the reported one-year earnings figure for registered nursing and related nursing study was $71,818. The corresponding figure for business administration and management was $49,287, while psychology was $31,860. These are field-specific measures, not a university-wide graduate salary. Coverage and the population represented can vary by field, and earnings do not by themselves show whether someone is working in their major, pursuing further education, working part time, or living in a higher-cost area.

Students can use such figures as one comparison point, alongside program cost, likely borrowing, licensure requirements, and outcomes over a longer period. A one-year measure is especially limited for careers that commonly require graduate study or take time to enter.
