What are the graduation rates for students at Norwich University?

Norwich University's reported four-year graduation rate is 53%, and its six-year rate is 60%. These figures describe particular cohorts of first-time, full-time degree-seeking undergraduates; they are not the completion rates for all transfer, part-time, online or graduate students.

The gap between the two measures indicates that some students in the measured cohort finished after the traditional four-year period. Norwich's reported first-year retention rate is 79%, measuring the share of the relevant entering cohort that returned the following fall. None of these figures predicts an individual student's outcome. Applicants comparing programs should also examine course sequencing, clinical or studio requirements, and the credits a transfer student would still need.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Norwich University?

Federal College Scorecard field-of-study figures provide a limited view of earnings for some Norwich University graduates approximately one year after completing their programs. They are median earnings for the federally aided graduates covered by the measure who were working and not enrolled, not starting-salary offers or a forecast for every graduate.

Among reported fields, the one-year median was $64,255 for registered nursing and related nursing programs and $61,753 for intelligence, command control and information operations. Civil engineering was reported at $51,928, while criminal justice and corrections was reported at $39,043. Different industries, locations, graduate-study choices and amounts of work experience can affect these comparisons.

Field-of-study results may combine graduates across eligible credential levels or be withheld when a group is too small to report. They should therefore be read alongside program costs, borrowing, completion prospects and longer-term career interests, rather than used as a promise of what a Norwich degree will pay.
