Lander University

What are the graduation rates for students at Lander University?

Lander's reported six-year graduation rate is 50% for the tracked first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort. Its four-year rate is 36%. These measures follow entering students over different periods; they are not the percentage of all currently enrolled students who graduate in a given year.

The four-year figure has risen from 27% in the 2019 reporting series to 36% in the more recent figures. Reported first-year retention is 70%, meaning roughly seven in ten students in the measured group returned the following fall. Retention and graduation describe different milestones, and neither rate explains on its own why an individual student stays, leaves, transfers, or takes longer to finish.

Prospective students should pay particular attention to course sequencing and any major-specific admission requirements. Finishing in five or six years rather than four can add living expenses and delay entry into full-time work, even when tuition per term remains unchanged.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Lander University?

Federal College Scorecard program data reports earnings for some Lander fields one year after completion. These are median earnings among the federally aided completers included in the measure, not starting-salary offers, not averages for every graduate, and not a guarantee of future pay.

• Registered nursing: $63,239 one year after completion.
• Political science and government: $34,398 one year after completion.
• Teacher education for specific levels and methods: $33,313 one year after completion.
• Biology: $31,839 one year after completion.
• Business administration and management: $30,903 one year after completion.

The figures should not be read as a ranking of program quality. They reflect different occupations, local labor markets, levels of further study, and numbers of graduates represented. One-year earnings also omit much of a career's longer-term trajectory; some graduates may still be pursuing professional qualifications or additional degrees.
