What are the graduation rates for students at Marymount University?

Marymount's reported four-year graduation rate is 42%, while its six-year rate is 54%. These are cohort measures of first-time, full-time degree-seeking undergraduates; they should not be read as the completion rate for every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.

The reported first-year retention rate is 73%, meaning roughly three-quarters of the measured first-time cohort returned the following fall. A six-year rate gives students more time than a four-year rate, but neither figure explains why an individual student completed, transferred, stopped out, or took longer. Applicants comparing programs should ask about course sequencing and the availability of required classes, particularly where internships or clinical work affect a graduation plan.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Marymount University?

Federal College Scorecard program figures provide a limited look at earnings measured one year after completion for former students in the relevant federally aided cohorts. The figures are program-level median earnings, not starting-salary offers or predictions for every graduate.

Reported one-year medians include $68,050 for registered nursing, $50,698 for general computer and information sciences, $48,345 for business administration, and $30,023 for psychology. Differences can reflect occupations, graduate study, hours worked, and the students represented in each program - not just the effect of the degree.

A one-year measure cannot show long-term income growth or whether graduates are working in their field. Students comparing programs should consider earnings alongside tuition after aid, potential borrowing, licensure requirements, and the kind of work they want to do.
