What are the graduation rates for students at Ohio Wesleyan University?

In the reported cohort, 51% of Ohio Wesleyan students graduated within four years and 59% within six years. The six-year figure allows two additional years for completion; it does not mean that the typical student necessarily takes six years.

These federal graduation-rate measures generally follow first-time, full-time students who begin at the institution, so they do not describe every transfer or part-time student's outcome. The reported first-year retention rate is 85%, indicating the share who returned for another year under that measure. The six-year graduation rate was lower than the previously reported 62%, making it useful to consider multiple cohorts rather than treating a single year as a fixed prediction for an individual applicant.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Ohio Wesleyan University?

Federal field-of-study figures show varied earnings one year after completion for Ohio Wesleyan graduates with reportable results. Reported median figures include approximately $33,781 for business or managerial economics, $31,897 for political science and government, and $25,616 for psychology.

These are program-level, early-career measures for graduates whose earnings can be observed in the federal data, not salaries promised to everyone with those majors. The same reporting shows approximately $21,482 for sports, kinesiology, and physical education and $15,328 for zoology or animal biology. Small graduating groups, continued study, part-time work, geography, and occupational choices can all affect one-year comparisons. A missing or suppressed figure for another major should not be interpreted as zero earnings.
