Mercy College of Ohio's reported overall graduation rate is 56%, while its reported four-year graduation rate is 16%. These figures describe defined student cohorts and measurement periods; they should not be read as the probability that any particular student will graduate.
The reported six-year rate is also 56%, and the student retention rate is 87%. The contrast between four-year and six-year completion is worth examining when planning a degree, but the rates alone do not explain why students take longer. They may reflect different cohort definitions, program lengths, enrollment patterns, or other factors that the percentages cannot isolate.
Transfer applicants and adult learners should be particularly careful with conventional graduation-rate comparisons, which often focus on first-time students rather than everyone enrolled. For a useful estimate of their own timeline, students need a degree plan that accounts for accepted transfer credit, course sequencing, and clinical availability.
Reported earnings vary substantially by Mercy College of Ohio field of study. College Scorecard field-of-study figures for one year after completion list median earnings of approximately $62,118 for registered nursing and $59,808 for general health sciences; the reported figure for health and medical administration is $43,959.
These are one-year post-completion medians for the federally aided completers included in the relevant reporting, not starting salaries promised to every graduate. Medians describe the middle of an observed group. They do not establish whether a person obtained work in the field, worked full time, remained in Ohio, or incurred a particular amount of debt.
Students comparing programs should consider these figures alongside credential level, licensing requirements, tuition, time to completion, and the availability of local jobs. Differences between fields do not, on their own, show that one Mercy program causes higher pay than another.
