Indiana University-Bloomington

What are the graduation rates for students at Indiana University-Bloomington?

Indiana University Bloomington's reported six-year graduation rate is 80% for the measured first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort. Its four-year rate is 69%. These are cohort measures: they follow specified entering students over set periods, rather than describing every undergraduate, transfer student, or graduate student.

The reported first-year retention rate is 91%, meaning most students in the measured first-time cohort returned for a second year. Together, these indicators give applicants useful context about persistence and completion, but they do not predict an individual result. Degree requirements, changes of major, transfer credits, enrollment intensity, and personal circumstances can all affect a student's timeline.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Indiana University-Bloomington?

College Scorecard program-level figures show substantial variation in reported earnings one year after completion among former Indiana University Bloomington students with measurable earnings. Reported examples include $70,263 for computer science and $56,274 for registered nursing; the figure for music is $13,918. These are observations for defined groups and programs, not starting salaries promised to new students.

Scorecard field-of-study earnings generally reflect federally aided completers whose earnings can be measured in the reporting period. They do not cover every graduate, and a one-year measure can be especially incomplete in fields where further study, training, freelance work, or early-career part-time work is common. Applicants comparing majors should consider program costs and career paths alongside later earnings measures, when available.
