What are the graduation rates for students at Niagara University?

Niagara University's reported four-year graduation rate is 67%, while its six-year rate is 74%. These measures describe completion among defined entering cohorts of first-time, full-time students; they are not predictions for a particular applicant or measures of all transfer and part-time students.

The reported first-year retention rate is 80%, meaning that about four in five students in the measured first-time cohort returned the following fall. A six-year completion measure allows more time than a four-year measure, but neither figure explains why an individual student did or did not finish. Transfer applicants should ask for outcomes relevant to their own entry route rather than treating first-time-student rates as directly comparable.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Niagara University?

College Scorecard program data report median earnings measured about one year after completion for federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled. They are observations for specific groups, not starting-salary offers or earnings guaranteed by a Niagara degree.

Among the reported fields, the one-year median was $66,576 for registered nursing, $39,576 for accounting and related services, $37,852 for criminology, and $33,188 for hospitality administration and management. Differences can reflect occupations, local labor markets, further study, and which completers appear in the measured group. A one-year figure is especially limited for careers that commonly require graduate education, licensing, or time to advance.

Niagara reports career support including individual counseling, résumé and interview assistance, employer recruiting, job fairs, and opportunities to connect with alumni. Those services are useful to distinguish from the earnings data: access to career advising is not an employment outcome.
