What are the graduation rates for students at Lourdes University?

Lourdes University's reported four-year and six-year graduation rates are both 32%. These measures track specified cohorts of first-time, full-time, degree-seeking students; they should not be read as the completion rate for every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.

The reported six-year figure is below the corresponding national institutional average of about 51%. Lourdes also reports first-year retention of 87%, which measures a different outcome: whether students return after their first year, not whether they eventually finish. Applicants comparing schools should consider both measures and ask their intended program about course availability and typical time to degree.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Lourdes University?

College Scorecard program data report median earnings of about $57,033 for measured nursing completers one year after completion. The corresponding reported figure for a multidisciplinary-studies category is about $19,607. These are program-level observations for the students included in the federal measure, not salaries promised to future graduates.

A one-year earnings measure captures an early career point and may reflect differences in occupation, hours worked, location, further study, and the number of graduates represented. It also does not subtract tuition or student-loan payments. Students should compare programs using the same measure and consider licensing results, employment options, borrowing, and longer-term goals alongside earnings.
