Notre Dame of Maryland University

What are the graduation rates for students at Notre Dame of Maryland University?

Notre Dame of Maryland University's reported six-year graduation rate is 50% for the measured first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort. Its four-year rate is 43%. These rates track a defined group of entrants, not every student who attends the university.

The reported first-year retention rate is 73%, meaning roughly that share of the measured first-time cohort returned the following fall. Transfer students, part-time students, and many adult learners are not represented in the same way by the standard federal graduation-rate measure. The difference between the four- and six-year figures also shows that some members of the cohort completed after four years.

Applicants comparing programs should examine required course sequences and likely time to completion alongside institution-wide rates. Neither a graduation rate nor a retention rate, by itself, explains why an individual student stayed, transferred, stopped out, or finished.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Notre Dame of Maryland University?

College Scorecard program data offers a limited view of earnings about one year after completion for certain groups of federally aided graduates. For Notre Dame of Maryland University's reported nursing program category, the one-year median is $69,869.

The corresponding reported median for liberal arts and sciences or general studies is $45,490. These are program-level observations, not starting-salary offers or predictions for an individual graduate. The one-year measure does not show lifetime earnings, account for every graduate, or by itself separate the effects of prior work experience, location, further education, and occupation.

Career support is a different consideration from earnings outcomes. Reported university services include individual career counseling, résumé and interview preparation, job fairs, employer recruitment, and alumni networking. Students can use those services while assessing internships and job openings, but the availability of support should not be mistaken for a guaranteed placement.
