Mississippi University for Women

What are the graduation rates for students at Mississippi University for Women?

Mississippi University for Women's reported six-year graduation rate is 47% for the measured first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort. Its four-year rate is 33%. These measures follow an entering cohort over different periods; they are not the share of all current students who will eventually earn a degree.

The reported first-year retention rate is 67%, meaning roughly two-thirds of the measured first-time, full-time students returned the following fall. Transfer and part-time students - both relevant groups at The W - are not necessarily represented in the same way by the standard first-time cohort graduation rate. A prospective student comparing programs should therefore consider course sequencing, credit-transfer results, and the expected time to complete their own degree alongside these institution-wide figures.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Mississippi University for Women?

Published College Scorecard program figures show substantial differences in reported earnings approximately one year after completion. For example, the reported figure for registered nursing is $59,369, compared with $32,583 for teacher education and $30,925 for business administration.

These are program-level outcomes for graduates represented in the federal earnings data, not starting-salary offers or predictions for every student. The figures reflect the population, measurement period, and reporting rules used by the College Scorecard; they do not isolate the effect of the degree from occupation, location, further study, or previous work experience. Some programs do not have a publishable figure. Students comparing majors should also consider licensing requirements, the cost and length of study, and whether an occupation normally requires additional education.
