Ottawa University-Surprise

What are the graduation rates for students at Ottawa University-Surprise?

Ottawa University-Surprise's reported six-year graduation rate is 18%, and its four-year rate is 14%. These figures warrant attention, but they describe defined groups of students entering in earlier years - not the expected result for every current applicant.

Federal graduation-rate measures generally follow first-time, full-time degree-seeking entrants and can exclude many transfer and part-time students. OUAZ also reports a first-year retention rate of 50%, meaning about half of the students in the measured entering group returned the following fall. Neither figure explains why individual students left or whether they completed a degree elsewhere. A prospective student can use the rates to ask a more specific question: how often do students in the intended major obtain required courses and finish on schedule?

What is the earning potential for graduates at Ottawa University-Surprise?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings about one year after completion for graduates included in the federal earnings measure. They are historical medians for qualifying groups, not starting-salary offers or predictions for all OUAZ graduates.

Reported one-year figures include $58,931 for health and medical administrative services, $47,803 for accounting, and $36,858 for human services. The figure for business administration is $34,341. Earnings can vary substantially with occupation, location, prior work experience, additional education, and the number of graduates represented. The federal measure also has population and privacy limitations, so it should be considered alongside program costs, debt, licensing requirements, and a student's career goals - not treated as a return-on-investment guarantee.
