What are the graduation rates for students at Kent State University at Stark?

Reported completion outcomes for Kent State at Stark need careful reading because the measures can follow different entering groups and degree timelines. IPEDS 2024-25 reporting lists an overall graduation rate of 37% and a student retention rate of 54%.

Separate reported four-year and six-year figures are much lower. They should not be read as interchangeable with the overall rate: graduation measures can differ by credential, starting cohort, and the length of time allowed for completion. They also do not, on their own, show whether a student who left Stark completed a degree at another campus. Prospective students should ask an adviser about completion patterns for their intended program and about the course sequence needed to finish on schedule.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Kent State University at Stark?

College Scorecard program figures associated with Kent State at Stark report earnings measured one year after completion. For example, the reported figure is $57,586 for registered nursing and $57,552 for computer science; fine and studio arts has a reported figure of $21,133.

These are program-level outcomes for the students included in the Scorecard's earnings measure, not starting salaries promised to future graduates. Federal aid participation, employment, continued enrollment, and privacy rules can affect who appears in a reported result. A figure may also describe a broad field rather than one particular Stark degree. Students comparing majors should consider the credential level, local job market, later-career earnings, and borrowing alongside the one-year measure.
