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

In the reported IPEDS outcomes, IWU-Marion's four-year graduation rate is 57%, and its six-year rate is 66%. The institution also reports 83% first-year retention, meaning that share of the measured first-time cohort returned the following year.

Federal graduation rates generally follow first-time, full-time degree-seeking students who begin at the institution. They do not describe every transfer student, part-time student, or adult learner, and a four-year rate measures a different completion window from a six-year rate. The separately reported overall graduation figure is 67%; readers should not treat differently labeled figures as though they all describe the same cohort. Students comparing colleges should use the same cohort definition and time period for each school.

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

College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings measured about one year after completion for qualifying graduates receiving federal aid. They are historical, program-level observations - not starting-salary offers or predictions for every student.

Reported one-year median earnings include $60,518 for registered nursing, $58,341 for management information systems, and $48,619 for business administration. The corresponding figure for teacher education at specified levels and methods is $38,639. These examples should not be read as a ranking of program quality: credentials, occupations, further study, work hours, geography, and the graduates included in a reported field can differ. A student comparing programs should also consider borrowing, licensing requirements, and longer-term career paths.
