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

Mount Saint Mary's reported a 48% six-year graduation rate and a 33% four-year rate in its 2024-25 institutional data. These measures track completion within specified periods for the applicable entering student cohorts; they do not describe the graduation prospects of every current student, especially transfers and part-time students.

The separately reported overall graduation figure was 53%, while first-year retention was 71%. These measures use different definitions or populations and should not be treated as interchangeable. A student comparing colleges should ask how outcomes vary by degree program and whether a program's course sequence makes graduation in four years realistic. The published rates alone do not establish why a student did or did not complete a degree.

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

Federal College Scorecard figures offer a limited view of earnings associated with particular Mount Saint Mary's fields of study roughly one year after completion. They are observations for measured former students, not starting-salary offers or predictions for future graduates.

For example, the reported one-year figure for registered nursing was $84,742. Accounting and related services was reported at $45,513, while psychology, general, was reported at $31,589. These are field-level measures, not estimates for every person with those majors. Scorecard earnings generally concern federally aided completers who can be matched to earnings records; small programs and other reporting limits can prevent a usable figure from appearing.

Major, degree level, local job market, further study and work experience all affect how useful a comparison is. In particular, a one-year measure can understate the longer-term earning path of someone pursuing a graduate credential or professional license. Students should consider the figure alongside likely borrowing and the qualifications needed for their intended occupation.
