What are the graduation rates for students at Newschool of Architecture and Design?

Reported completion measures for NewSchool include a 5% four-year graduation rate and a 29% six-year rate. The reported overall graduation rate is 62%, but it should not be treated as interchangeable with either time-specific figure: graduation measures can use different cohorts, time frames, or degree definitions.

The reported student retention rate is 63%. Retention tracks whether students return, not whether they eventually complete a degree. Architecture programs may also have degree lengths and studio sequences that make a four-year benchmark less informative for some entrants. Applicants should ask for completion and time-to-degree information for their specific program and entering status, particularly if they are transferring credits or entering a professional architecture degree.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Newschool of Architecture and Design?

College Scorecard data reported earnings of $51,755 for the Architecture field one year after completion. This is a field-of-study outcome for the population covered by that federal measure, not a starting-salary offer or a prediction for every NewSchool graduate.

Earnings data can omit people who are still studying or whose employment is not captured in the measure. Results may also reflect differences in degree level, location, prior experience, and the kinds of jobs graduates take. The figure does not show what an individual earned after taxes or how much debt they carried. For a practical comparison, applicants should consider it alongside program cost, likely borrowing, licensure requirements, and the work they hope to pursue.
