New England College of Optometry

What are the graduation rates for students at New England College of Optometry?

Standard four- and six-year undergraduate graduation rates are not a useful measure of NECO's principal OD program. Those federal measures follow cohorts of first-time, full-time bachelor's-degree students, while NECO is primarily a graduate professional institution.

For an OD applicant, more relevant questions concern the share of an entering class that completes the professional program, the time required to finish, and graduates' performance on licensing examinations. These measures have different definitions and should be compared only when the reporting period and student population are clear.

What is the earning potential for graduates at New England College of Optometry?

There is no reliable NECO-specific one-year earnings figure here that would justify a claim about what its graduates typically make. Earnings for optometrists also depend on licensure, location, hours, experience, and employment setting.

Applicants assessing financial return should compare the cost of completing the OD with realistic local compensation information and likely borrowing costs. An occupation-wide salary figure is not the same as earnings measured for NECO graduates, and early-career income may differ substantially from income later in practice.
