What are the graduation rates for students at Nebraska Wesleyan University?

Nebraska Wesleyan's reported four-year graduation rate is 58%, while its six-year rate is 66%. These measures track a defined cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree; they do not describe the completion rate of every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.

The difference between the two rates shows that some students completed after four years but within six. A further reported measure, first-year retention, is 75%: it indicates the share of an entering cohort that returned the next fall, not the share that eventually graduated. These figures are useful for planning, but a student's timeline can depend on transferred credits, course sequencing, changes of major, enrollment intensity, and program-specific requirements.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Nebraska Wesleyan University?

Field-of-study earnings figures are available for some Nebraska Wesleyan programs approximately one year after completion. College Scorecard figures report a median for graduates in a measured group with earnings records; they are not starting-salary offers or predictions for everyone with that major.

For example, the reported one-year median is $68,045 for nursing and $41,139 for business/commerce. The corresponding figure for social work is $36,757. Those differences should not be interpreted as the financial return from one major alone: occupations, further education, hours worked, location, and whether a credential permits immediate entry into a profession all matter.

Early earnings are particularly incomplete for fields in which graduates commonly pursue advanced study or licensure. They also say little about earnings later in a career. Applicants comparing programs should consider the exact credential, typical next steps, and likely borrowing alongside any available salary measure.
