Miami University-Hamilton

What are the graduation rates for students at Miami University-Hamilton?

The reported overall graduation rate for Miami University-Hamilton is 25% in 2024-25 institutional data. Its reported four-year and six-year rates are 12% and 24%, respectively. These measures describe defined groups of entering students over specified periods; they are not a prediction of an individual student's likelihood of graduating.

Federal graduation-rate measures often focus on first-time, full-time students and may not fully represent transfer students, part-time students or people who complete a credential elsewhere. The four-year and six-year figures should not be added together: they reflect different completion windows, and reported measures may use different cohorts or definitions. The campus's reported retention rate is 53%, a separate measure of continued enrollment rather than graduation.

For a useful personal comparison, an applicant should ask about completion in the intended program, whether required courses are offered often enough for the planned schedule, and how changing campuses or transferring credit would affect time to degree.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Miami University-Hamilton?

College Scorecard program data report earnings measured one year after completion for certain fields associated with Miami University-Hamilton. For example, the reported figures are $57,809 for computer and information sciences and $57,126 for registered nursing; marketing is reported at $52,355.

These are program-level earnings measures for graduates whose earnings could be matched in the underlying federal data, not starting-salary offers or a promise about what a new student will earn. Coverage, credential level and the number of graduates represented can differ by field. One year is also a short window: further study, local labor markets, prior work experience and the particular job a graduate takes can all affect earnings. Students comparing majors should look at program requirements, completion prospects and longer-term outcomes alongside any single earnings figure.
