North Carolina A&T's reported graduation rate is 57% within six years, while its four-year rate is 36%. These measures describe completion among the first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort used for federal reporting; they are not the graduation probability for every transfer, part-time or graduate student.
The difference between the two rates matters when estimating cost. Some students in the measured cohort complete after the fourth year, potentially adding semesters of tuition and living expenses. A&T's reported first-year retention rate is 78%, meaning that roughly that share of first-time students continued into the next year under the applicable reporting definition. None of these figures alone explains why individual students stay, leave or take longer to finish.
Federal College Scorecard program-level figures show substantial variation in reported earnings roughly one year after completion at North Carolina A&T. The figures describe measured outcomes for eligible, federally aided program completers with earnings records; they are not starting-salary offers or predictions for every graduate.
Among the reported one-year median earnings figures are $74,776 for computer science, $73,414 for industrial engineering, $63,288 for registered nursing and $53,063 for accounting. Other reported examples include $43,127 for teacher education at specified levels, $36,665 for business administration and $26,673 for biology. Comparing fields requires care: immediate employment patterns, graduate study, location, occupation and the number of observed graduates can all affect a one-year measure.
Students should use these figures alongside program completion, debt, licensure requirements and longer-term career information. An early earnings measure may be especially incomplete for a field in which graduates commonly pursue further education.
