What are the graduation rates for students at Manhattan University?

In reported IPEDS outcomes, 51% of Manhattan University students in the relevant entering cohort graduated within four years, and 64% graduated within six years. The reported first-year retention rate was 76%.

These graduation measures follow a defined cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree; they should not be read as the completion rate for every transfer, part-time, or graduate student. The difference between the four- and six-year figures also matters financially: an extra term may bring additional tuition and living expenses. The rates describe what happened to earlier cohorts, not what any current applicant will experience.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Manhattan University?

Field-of-study earnings estimates vary considerably for former Manhattan University students. College Scorecard figures reported for one year after completion include $68,261 for civil engineering, $52,073 for general computer and information sciences, and $38,318 for communication and media studies.

Other reported examples include $43,059 for marketing and $29,067 for psychology. These are field-level, one-year post-completion earnings measures for students included in the Scorecard's underlying federal data - not starting-salary offers to every graduate. Coverage can differ across programs, and earnings can be affected by employment status, local labor markets, further study, and the mix of jobs graduates take.

Students comparing majors should put an early earnings figure alongside program cost, likely borrowing, career goals, and any additional education needed for their intended occupation. A one-year measure cannot describe a full career trajectory.
