Muskingum University

What are the graduation rates for students at Muskingum University?

Muskingum's reported four-year graduation rate is 47%, while its six-year rate is 56%. These figures describe defined cohorts of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students; they are not the share of every current student, transfer student or graduate student who will finish.

The difference between the two rates shows that some students completed after the fourth year but within six years. The reported first-year retention rate is 73%, a separate measure of how many students return the following fall. Applicants comparing schools should use the same cohort definition and reporting year, then ask their intended program about course sequencing and the typical time needed to finish.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Muskingum University?

Federal College Scorecard field-of-study figures offer a limited view of earnings about one year after completion among federally aided graduates with reportable earnings. They are not starting-salary offers, and they do not predict what a particular Muskingum graduate will earn.

Reported one-year median earnings include $59,931 for registered nursing, $43,476 for accounting and $38,175 for business administration. The comparable figure for biology is $28,682. Differences may reflect occupation, further study, location and who is included in each field's measured group - not simply the value of the degree.

One-year earnings are particularly incomplete for fields in which graduates commonly pursue further education or licensure. They also omit other considerations, including debt, benefits and longer-term career changes. Students can use the figures as one comparison point alongside program costs and likely career paths.
