Madonna University's reported four-year graduation rate is 41%, while its six-year rate is 60%. These measures follow defined groups of first-time, full-time undergraduates; they should not be read as the completion rate for every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.
The gap between the four- and six-year figures shows why time to completion matters financially. Additional terms can mean more tuition and living expenses, even for students who ultimately graduate. The reported first-year retention rate is 72%, measuring a different outcome: how many students return for the following year. None of these figures, on its own, identifies why an individual student stays, leaves, or takes longer to finish. Applicants can make the statistics more useful by examining the course sequence and expected graduation timeline for their particular major.
Federal College Scorecard program-level figures offer a limited view of former students' earnings approximately one year after program completion. For Madonna University's registered nursing field, the reported figure is $62,405; the comparable reported figure for business administration is $43,669.
These are median earnings for the measured group, not starting salaries promised to new graduates. Scorecard program earnings generally describe federally aided completers with qualifying earnings records, rather than everyone who attended or everyone who completed a degree. The figures may combine outcomes affected by credential level, occupation, location, work hours, and further study. For example, a reported $37,311 figure for criminal justice describes that measured field and period, not the pay a particular criminal justice graduate should expect. Students comparing programs should consider the size and definition of the measured group alongside licensing requirements, debt, and local job opportunities.
