What are the graduation rates for students at North Carolina Wesleyan University?

North Carolina Wesleyan's reported four-year graduation rate is 29%, while its six-year rate is 42%. These measures follow defined cohorts of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree; they should not be read as the completion rate for every transfer, part-time, or adult learner.

The reported first-year retention rate is 59%, meaning roughly six in ten students in the measured cohort returned the following fall. Graduation and retention statistics identify outcomes worth asking about, but they do not establish why students leave or how a particular applicant will fare. Students comparing institutions should ask how advising, course availability, finances, and transfer-credit decisions may affect their own time to degree.

What is the earning potential for graduates at North Carolina Wesleyan University?

Federal College Scorecard field-of-study data report earnings for some North Carolina Wesleyan programs approximately one year after completion. The reported figure is a median for the covered graduates with matched earnings records, not a starting salary promised to every student in that major.

• Computer and information sciences: $43,559.
• Accounting and related services: $39,717.
• Marketing: $37,057.
• Business administration and management: $35,579.
• Teacher education for specific levels and methods: $35,201.
• Criminal justice and corrections: $30,518.
• Psychology: $28,727.

These one-year figures reflect the graduates and reporting periods included in the Scorecard measure; they do not capture every career path, later earnings growth, or the value of further education. Differences between majors may also reflect local labor markets and graduates' job choices. Compare earnings with the likely cost of completing the degree, not with tuition alone.
