Indiana University-Indianapolis

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

Reported completion figures show a 39% four-year graduation rate and a 54% six-year graduation rate. These measures generally follow a defined group of first-time, full-time bachelor's-degree seekers; they should not be read as the completion rate for every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.

The difference between the four- and six-year figures matters when budgeting. A student who needs additional semesters may face more tuition and living expenses, even if the eventual credential is the same. The reported first-year retention rate is 72%, meaning that roughly seven in ten students in the measured entering group continued into the following year under the measure's rules.

Because IU Indianapolis began under its current institutional arrangement in 2024, longer-term graduation measures necessarily include cohorts that entered when the campus was IUPUI. They are useful historical context, but they do not isolate the effects of the institutional separation or predict an individual student's outcome.

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

College Scorecard program figures report earnings approximately one year after completion for federally aided students in measured programs. They are historical outcomes for qualifying former students, not salary offers or forecasts for new applicants.

Examples in the reported program data include median earnings of $62,739 for computer science and $56,967 for registered nursing. The corresponding figure for psychology is $31,044. These comparisons need care: graduates enter different occupations, work different hours, and may pursue further education. A one-year measure also says little about long-term earnings or the cost of obtaining a degree.

Program-level records may reflect the former IUPUI organization, including programs affected by the 2024 Indiana University-Purdue University separation. Before using an earnings figure to compare majors, applicants should confirm that the named degree is currently awarded by IU Indianapolis and consider its total cost, licensing pathway, and typical next steps.
