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

IU Southeast's reported six-year graduation rate is 39% for the relevant first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort. Its four-year rate is 26%. These measures track students who began at the institution under the federal reporting definition; they do not describe the completion rate of every transfer, part-time, or returning adult student.

The reported first-year retention rate is 64%, meaning roughly two-thirds of the measured first-time students returned the following fall. Graduation and retention figures are useful for planning, but they do not explain why an individual student leaves or takes longer to finish. Applicants concerned about time to degree can ask their intended department how often required courses are offered and map prerequisites with an adviser early.

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

Federal College Scorecard program figures offer a limited view of earnings roughly one year after completion. They describe the measured, federally aided graduates in a program - not every graduate, a guaranteed starting salary, or lifetime earning potential.

Among the reported one-year median figures, computer science was $58,998 and registered nursing was $57,929. Other reported examples include business or commerce at $41,962 and psychology at $26,898. Program comparisons need care: graduates may enter different occupations, work different hours, continue their education, or live in labor markets with different pay.

Career support is distinct from these outcomes. IU Southeast reports individual and group career planning, résumé help, career-interest resources, a job bank, and job fairs. Students seeking internships or employment should use those services alongside academic advising rather than interpret an earnings figure as a placement promise.
