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

Mount Mary's reported six-year graduation rate is 43% for the measured first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort. Its four-year rate is 35%. These measures follow defined entering cohorts; they should not be read as the eventual completion rate for every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.

The reported first-year retention rate is 67%, indicating the share of students in its measured cohort who returned for the following fall. Completion figures are useful when comparing institutions, but they do not explain why an individual student left or how long a particular transfer or professional program will take. Applicants can pair these figures with a major-specific course plan and questions about advising, course availability, and placement schedules.

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

College Scorecard program figures provide a limited view of earnings approximately one year after completion for graduates covered by the measure. Reported figures include $39,282 for specialized sales, merchandising, and marketing operations; $31,777 for communication and media studies; and $28,624 for design and applied arts.

These are program-level reported earnings measures, not starting-salary offers or predictions for a particular student. College Scorecard earnings measures generally concern federally aided completers whose earnings can be matched to administrative records; they do not capture every graduate or every form of income. Small programs, career changes, location, further study, and differences among jobs can all limit what a single figure reveals. Applicants comparing programs may also want to consider likely borrowing, credential requirements, and longer-term career paths.
