McMurry University

What are the graduation rates for students at McMurry University?

McMurry's reported six-year graduation rate is 44% for the relevant first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort. Its reported four-year rate is 32%. These measures track defined groups of entering students; they are not the percentage of all current students who will eventually earn a degree.

The six-year figure means that fewer than half of students in that measured cohort completed within the federal reporting window. It was below the reported national average for institutions in the comparison data. McMurry's reported first-year retention rate is 64%, a different measure describing how many eligible first-year students returned the following year.

These statistics do not, on their own, explain why a student leaves or takes longer to graduate. Prospective students can use them to ask specific questions about advising, course availability, costs beyond four years, and support in their intended major. Transfer students should be especially careful: the standard first-time graduation cohort does not directly describe their outcomes.

What is the earning potential for graduates at McMurry University?

Available College Scorecard figures describe reported earnings about one year after completion for certain McMurry fields of study. They are program-level observations for the students captured by the federal measure, not salary offers or a forecast for a new applicant.

For example, the reported one-year earnings figure is $30,743 for teacher education focused on specific levels and methods and $31,052 for psychology. Sociology has a reported figure of $31,428. Students should read each figure with its program definition and reporting period in mind; a figure for one major should not be applied to another.

Early earnings omit much of a career's trajectory and can reflect occupation, location, further study, and whether graduates work full time. A useful comparison also considers likely borrowing, licensing or graduate-school requirements, and outcomes several years after enrollment where comparable figures exist.
