What are the graduation rates for students at Park University?

Park University's reported overall graduation rate is 38%, with a reported four-year rate of 19% and six-year rate of 37%. The figures warrant attention, but they should be read alongside their definitions rather than treated as an individual student's chance of graduating.

Federal graduation-rate measures generally follow a defined entering cohort of first-time, full-time students. They do not describe every adult learner, transfer student, or part-time student at a university with substantial enrollment in those groups. Park's reported student retention rate is 58%; retention measures continued enrollment over a specified period, not eventual degree completion.

For a more personal estimate of time and cost, applicants can ask their program for a term-by-term course sequence and check how often required courses are offered in their intended format.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Park University?

College Scorecard program-level figures offer a limited view of earnings about one year after completion; they are not salary offers or predictions for future students. Reported figures include $55,408 for computer and information sciences, $47,878 for business administration, and $30,509 for psychology.

These are program-level earnings measures for the federally aided students represented in the Scorecard's underlying records, not the earnings of every Park graduate. Field, degree level, location, prior work experience, further study, and the number of people with reportable earnings can affect comparisons. A one-year measure is particularly limited for careers that normally require additional education or licensure.

Park reports career-support services including individual counseling, résumé and interview help, job-search resources, employer events, and alumni networking. Those services can assist a search, but their availability is not evidence that a student will receive a job offer.
