What are the graduation rates for students at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences?

The reported overall graduation rate for MCPHS is 62%. Separate completion measures show a four-year rate of 53% and a six-year rate of 61%. These figures describe defined student cohorts over specified time windows; they are not the probability that any individual student in any MCPHS degree will graduate.

The reported first-year retention rate is 74%, measuring the share of a defined entering group that returned the next fall. Completion rates need particular care at a university with several degree lengths and professional pathways: a four-year measure may not match the intended timetable of a longer program. Applicants comparing degrees should ask for completion and, where applicable, licensing-exam outcomes for the exact program and campus.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences?

College Scorecard program-level figures report earnings measured one year after completion for certain MCPHS fields. They are observations about the graduates included in each reported program measure, not starting-salary offers or predictions for future students.

  • Allied health diagnostic, intervention, and treatment professions: $69,666.
  • Registered nursing and related fields: $66,329.
  • Dental support services and allied professions: $64,159.
  • Pharmacy, pharmaceutical sciences, and administration: $42,097.
  • Health and medical preparatory programs: $32,005.

These are broad federal field categories, not necessarily single MCPHS majors or a like-for-like comparison of credentials. One-year earnings can reflect whether a graduate entered the workforce immediately, pursued further education, obtained a license, or worked in a particular location. They also say nothing by themselves about debt, working hours, or earnings later in a career. Students evaluating a specific professional degree should pair these figures with its credential level, total borrowing, licensure requirements, and program-specific outcomes.
