Mount St. Joseph University's reported six-year graduation rate is 56% for the measured cohort of first-time, full-time students pursuing a bachelor's degree. Its four-year rate is 46%. The rates describe different completion windows for a defined cohort; they are not the share of all current students who will graduate.
The reported first-year retention rate is 69%, meaning that approximately seven in ten students in the measured first-time cohort returned the following fall under that measure. Transfer students, part-time students, and graduate students may have different paths not captured by these bachelor's-cohort graduation figures. A prospective student comparing programs should ask about degree plans, course availability, and the support available when progress falls behind schedule.
Field-of-study earnings figures provide a limited view of early career outcomes for some Mount St. Joseph University graduates. College Scorecard figures measured roughly one year after completion report $59,240 for a reported nursing field and $42,559 for business administration, management, and operations. The corresponding figures are $35,483 for criminology and $30,905 for sports, kinesiology, and physical education/fitness.
These are historical, field-specific earnings measures for graduates captured by the federal data, not starting-salary offers or predictions for every student in a major. Employment status, location, degree level, further study, and the size of the reporting group can all affect interpretation. Students comparing programs should weigh earnings alongside likely borrowing, licensing requirements, career interests, and opportunities for work experience.
