What are the graduation rates for students at Mayville State University?

Mayville State's reported four-year graduation rate is 23%, while its six-year rate is 40%. The longer window captures students who finish after four years; neither figure predicts whether a particular applicant will graduate.

Federal graduation-rate measures typically follow a defined group of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students rather than everyone attending the university. They therefore do not fully describe outcomes for transfer students, part-time learners, or adults returning to college. The reported student retention rate is 81%, a different measure concerned with students' continued enrollment. Applicants comparing institutions should keep those populations and time frames distinct.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Mayville State University?

College Scorecard program figures offer a limited view of earnings one year after completion for students whose earnings can be measured in federal records. Reported figures for Mayville State include $63,651 in registered nursing, $38,320 in teacher education for specific levels and methods, and $34,447 in business administration and management.

These are program-specific outcomes, not starting-salary offers or predictions for every graduate. The underlying student groups, employment patterns, and availability of earnings records differ by field. A one-year measure also says little about later career progression, graduate study, hours worked, or local cost of living. Students should compare programs using curriculum and credential requirements as well as earnings.
