What are the graduation rates for students at Mount Marty University?

Mount Marty's reported six-year graduation rate is 52% for the measured cohort of first-time, full-time degree-seeking undergraduates. Its four-year rate is 41%. These measures follow an entering cohort over different periods; they are not the share of all currently enrolled students who will graduate.

The reported first-year retention rate is 68%, measuring the share of an entering group that continued into the following year under the applicable reporting definition. Transfers, part-time students and students who finish elsewhere may not be represented in the standard graduation-rate measure in the way a prospective transfer applicant expects. Applicants can use the figures as context, then ask their intended program about course sequencing, placement availability and typical time to completion.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Mount Marty University?

College Scorecard program figures report median earnings measured one year after completion for graduates with measurable earnings in the relevant federally aided population. For Mount Marty, the reported figure is $61,763 for registered nursing and related nursing programs. The figure for teacher education focused on specific levels and methods is $38,340.

These are program-level historical measures, not starting-salary offers or predictions for an individual graduate. Occupation, location, additional training, hours worked and the number of graduates represented can all affect interpretation. Students can pair earnings data with a program's licensure requirements and the university's career support when evaluating a pathway.

Mount Marty reports career services including individual counseling, résumé and interview preparation, job fairs, employer recruitment and alumni networking opportunities. Access to those services should not be confused with a verified job-placement rate.
