Olin College of Engineering

What are the graduation rates for students at Olin College of Engineering?

Olin's reported six-year graduation rate is 96% for the applicable cohort of first-time, full-time degree-seeking undergraduates. Its reported four-year rate is 64%, and first-year retention is 98%.

The four- and six-year figures measure different completion windows, not different degree types. A student who graduates after four years but within six is included in the later measure. Federal cohort graduation rates also do not describe every student who enrolls: transfer students, for example, are not part of the standard first-time entering cohort. The figures show that most students in the measured cohort completed a degree within six years, but they cannot predict an individual student's timeline or explain why students took longer.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Olin College of Engineering?

The College Scorecard field-of-study figure supplied for Olin's General Engineering bachelor's program is $91,352 in earnings measured one year after completion. It is a program-level outcome for graduates represented in the Scorecard's matched earnings data, not a starting-salary offer or a figure for every Olin graduate.

Scorecard earnings measures have population and reporting limitations: not every graduate has a usable earnings record, and later study, geographic location, job choice and work hours can affect results. The General Engineering figure should not be applied to Olin's other majors without their own published measures. Students comparing career outcomes should consider internships, graduate-school plans, debt and longer-term employment alongside any one-year earnings statistic.
