Mount St. Mary's University

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

In the reported IPEDS graduation data, 62% of the relevant first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort completed within four years, and 65% completed within six years. These are cohort measures, not predictions for an individual student or completion rates for all transfers, part-time students and graduate students.

The reported first-year retention rate was 71%, measuring the share of first-time, full-time students who returned the following fall. Graduation and retention figures answer different questions: a student can return after the first year without completing a degree within the measured period. Applicants comparing colleges should use the same cohort definitions and reporting years when interpreting these statistics.

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

Federal College Scorecard program figures provide a limited look at earnings one year after completion for federally aided graduates with reported earnings. In the supplied program-level results, the median was $53,097 for accounting and related services and $48,900 for computer and information sciences. The corresponding figure for communication and media studies was $28,932.

These figures describe different groups of graduates, not what a new student will earn. They do not capture every graduate, and results can reflect occupation, location, additional study and the number of people represented. A one-year measure is especially limited for careers that commonly require graduate training. Students should weigh earnings alongside program fit, borrowing, licensing requirements and longer-term career plans.
