MidAmerica Nazarene University's reported six-year graduation rate is 54% for the measured first-time student cohort; 39% completed within four years. These figures describe groups of students over specified periods, not an individual student's likelihood of finishing.
The reported first-year retention rate is 70%, measuring the share of an entering cohort that returned the following fall. Retention and graduation answer different questions: a student may transfer, stop out, or complete on a different timetable. Standard first-time graduation measures also do not describe transfer entrants or every adult-learning program. Students comparing colleges should use like-for-like cohort definitions and ask their intended department how often required courses are offered.
Federal College Scorecard field-of-study figures offer a limited view of earnings approximately one year after completing a program. For MidAmerica Nazarene University, the reported figure is $60,265 for registered nursing and related nursing studies; business administration and management is reported at $47,757.
Other reported one-year field figures include $40,690 for teacher education at specified levels and $29,653 for sports, kinesiology, and physical education. These are earnings measures for graduates represented in the federal data, not starting-salary offers or predictions for every student. Results can be affected by the jobs graduates take, location, prior work experience, further study, and which graduates are included in a reported field.
Students can use these figures alongside program costs and career goals, rather than treating them as a return-on-investment guarantee. MNU reports career support that includes individual and group planning, résumé assistance, interview workshops, job fairs, employer recruitment, and opportunities for undergraduate alumni networking. The availability of those services is not itself an employment-outcome measure.
