What are the graduation rates for students at Milligan University?

Milligan's reported four-year graduation rate is 55%, and its six-year rate is 63%. These measures track a defined cohort of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students; they should not be read as the completion rate for every transfer, part-time or graduate student.

The difference between the two rates means some students in the measured cohort finished after four years but within six. Reported first-year retention is 82%, a separate measure of students returning after their first year rather than ultimately earning a degree. None of these figures explains why an individual student stayed, transferred or left.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Milligan University?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings measured about one year after completion for graduates included in the underlying federal data. For Milligan, reported figures include $52,089 for registered nursing, $34,515 for business administration and $24,252 for psychology.

These are early-career observations for particular fields, not salaries promised to new graduates or estimates for every student in a major. The populations measured can differ by program, and later earnings may change with location, additional education, licensure and experience. Students comparing programs should consider employment and graduate-school plans as well as the one-year figure.

Career support is a different measure from earnings. Reported services available to undergraduates include individual career counseling, résumé preparation, interview practice, job fairs, employer recruitment and alumni networking. Those services may help with a search, but their availability does not establish a particular employment outcome.
