What are the graduation rates for students at Molloy University?

Molloy's reported six-year graduation rate was 70% in the 2024-25 institutional data; its four-year rate was 47%. These figures describe outcomes for defined entering cohorts, not the likelihood that any particular applicant will graduate on that schedule.

Federal graduation-rate measures generally follow first-time, full-time students seeking a degree or certificate. They do not describe every transfer student, part-time student, or graduate student. Molloy also reported an 85% student retention rate, a different measure concerning continued enrollment. The gap between four- and six-year completion is worth considering when estimating costs: additional semesters can change a student's total bill, even if they ultimately earn the degree.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Molloy University?

Federal College Scorecard field-of-study figures offer a limited view of earnings about one year after completion for graduates in covered programs who meet the federal data criteria. They are historical medians for the measured group, not starting-salary offers or predictions for future graduates.

Among Molloy programs with a reported figure in the October 2026 data, the one-year median was $92,243 for registered nursing and $55,039 for accounting. Psychology was reported at $31,177. Differences may reflect occupation, further study, local labor markets, hours worked, and which graduates are included; comparing programs as though they led to identical jobs would be misleading.

Students should read earnings alongside the program's total cost, likely borrowing, licensure pathway, and their own career plans. A one-year measure says little about later earnings or the experiences of graduates excluded from that field-of-study calculation.
