What are the graduation rates for students at Idaho State University?

Idaho State University's reported four-year graduation rate is 19%, and its six-year rate is 35% in the cited IPEDS 2024-25 figures. These measures track specified entering student cohorts; they do not describe the likelihood that every current student, transfer student, or part-time student will graduate on the same schedule.

A separately reported overall graduation measure is 39%. Because completion measures can cover different credential levels or cohorts, it should not be treated as interchangeable with the six-year bachelor's rate. ISU's reported student retention rate is 72%, indicating how many students in the relevant entering cohort returned for the next year. Prospective students can put these figures to use by examining their intended major's course sequence, advising arrangements, and the cost of an additional term.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Idaho State University?

Early-career earnings vary substantially by field at Idaho State University. College Scorecard program figures supplied for one year after completion include about $58,126 for registered nursing and mechanical engineering, $56,051 for computer science, and $35,356 for teacher education focused on specific levels and methods.

These are program-level earnings measures for graduates represented in federal data, not starting-salary offers to every graduate. Scorecard earnings are generally reported as medians for the measured group; credential level, cohort size, further study, location, and whether graduates work full time can affect interpretation. Compare the same credential and measurement period across programs. One-year earnings are useful context but cannot capture a whole career or show whether a degree will pay for itself for an individual student.
