Mount Saint Mary College

What are the graduation rates for students at Mount Saint Mary College?

Mount Saint Mary College's reported four-year graduation rate is 48%, while its six-year rate is 65%. These measures primarily follow a defined cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking bachelor's degrees; they do not describe every transfer, part-time, or graduate student's experience.

The difference means some students in the measured cohort completed after the fourth year but by the sixth. The reported first-year retention rate is 74%, measuring a different outcome: whether students continued into the following academic year. Neither figure explains why an individual student stayed, left, or took longer to graduate. Students comparing programs should also consider whether required courses, clinical placements, or fieldwork follow a fixed schedule.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Mount Saint Mary College?

College Scorecard field-of-study data report earnings measured about one year after completion for certain federally aided graduates. The figures are medians for the measured group - not a starting-salary offer or a prediction of what every graduate will make.

In the available program figures, the reported one-year median is $75,219 for registered nursing, $36,101 for business administration, and $30,041 for psychology. Human services is reported at $35,299. Comparisons need care: occupation, location, hours worked, further study, and the graduates included in each program's data can all affect the result. A one-year measure also says little about later career earnings.

For students preparing for a job search, the college reports individual and group career counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job listings, job fairs, and employer recruitment. These services are opportunities to seek help; they should not be confused with verified employment or earnings outcomes for all graduates.
