What are the graduation rates for students at Marywood University?

Marywood's reported six-year graduation rate is 72%, while its four-year rate is 49%. The figures describe completion within different time limits for the federally defined first-time, full-time undergraduate cohorts; they should not be read as graduation rates for every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.

The gap between the four- and six-year measures is useful for planning: completing a bachelor's degree within four years is not the same outcome as eventually completing it within six. Marywood also reports an 80% student retention rate. Retention measures continued enrollment over a specified period, not graduation.

Students comparing programs should ask about required course sequences, placement schedules, and how often essential classes are offered. Institution-wide completion figures cannot tell an individual applicant how long a particular degree will take.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Marywood University?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures report median earnings measured approximately one year after completion for eligible graduates in the measured population. They are snapshots of early earnings, not starting-salary promises or estimates of what every graduate in a major will make.

Reported Marywood examples include $62,698 for registered nursing and related nursing fields, $46,378 for architecture, and $40,571 for business administration and management. The corresponding reported figures are $28,006 for psychology and $24,668 for rehabilitation and therapeutic professions. These are separate field-of-study results, not an institution-wide average.

The Scorecard measure is limited to graduates it can match to earnings records and whose circumstances meet its reporting rules. Program figures can reflect different occupations, levels of further study, and labor markets. A one-year result is especially incomplete for careers that normally require graduate training or licensure.
