What are the graduation rates for students at Millersville University of Pennsylvania?

In the reported IPEDS outcomes, 39% of Millersville students in the measured first-time, full-time bachelor's cohort completed within four years, while 58% completed within six years. The longer measure allows additional time; it does not mean that everyone who graduates does so in exactly six years.

These federal graduation measures follow a defined entering cohort. They should not be read as the completion rate for every Millersville student: transfer students, many part-time students, and students entering graduate programs are not represented in the same way. The reported student retention rate is 77%, an indicator of how many students in the relevant cohort continued into the following year, not a graduation rate. Prospective students can use the four- and six-year gap to consider the possible cost of extra semesters, especially in majors with prerequisites, limited course rotations, or required clinical or teaching placements.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Millersville University of Pennsylvania?

Federal College Scorecard field-of-study figures report median earnings for federally aided former students one year after completing a program, where enough information is available for a figure to be published. They are observations about earlier cohorts - not a salary offer, a prediction for a new student, or a measure of everyone who studied the subject.

Among the reported Millersville fields, the one-year median is $72,336 for registered nursing and related nursing studies. The figure is $53,301 for general computer and information sciences and $43,694 for special education and teaching. Examples in other fields include $30,531 for communication and media studies and $29,079 for general psychology. These are field-level comparisons with different labor markets and career paths; they do not control for occupation, location, graduate study, hours worked, or an individual's prior experience.

Students weighing a program should consider its full cost and likely time to completion alongside these early-career figures. Some occupations require further education or a license, while others offer varied entry-level roles. A one-year earnings measure cannot capture those longer-term differences.
