What are the graduation rates for students at Manhattanville University?

Manhattanville's reported four-year graduation rate is 51%, while its six-year rate is 58%. These measures track a defined cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree; they are not the completion rates for every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.

The difference between the two rates means some students in that cohort finished after four years but within six. A separate reported first-year retention rate of 74% measures the share who returned the following fall, not the share who eventually graduated. These figures can help applicants ask practical questions about course availability and degree planning, but they cannot explain why any particular student stayed, left, or took longer to finish.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Manhattanville University?

College Scorecard program-level figures describe reported earnings about one year after completion for graduates whose earnings could be measured; they are not starting-salary offers or predictions for every student. The figures are most useful when compared with the program, the measurement period, and the limits of the underlying data in mind.

For example, the reported one-year figure is $48,212 for finance and $36,735 for business administration. Psychology is listed at $29,290, while drama and theater arts is listed at $23,518. These are different fields with different early-career pathways, and a one-year measure cannot capture later raises, graduate study, self-employment, or work outside a directly related occupation.

Students should not treat a program figure as an earnings guarantee. Pay varies with location, experience, job type, further education, and whether a graduate is working full time. Small program cohorts and privacy rules can also limit what a federal earnings measure reveals. Comparing these figures with likely borrowing and the requirements of a desired career is more informative than ranking majors by one number alone.
