Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Abington

What are the graduation rates for students at Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Abington?

Reported Abington graduation measures show a 12% four-year rate and a 20% six-year rate. These are cohort measures, not a forecast of what will happen to any particular student.

Federal graduation rates typically follow first-time, full-time students and count completion within a defined period at the reporting institution. That definition is especially important at a Penn State starting campus: students who move to another campus under a 2+2 plan may not be represented as Abington graduates even if they later earn a Penn State degree. The reported first-year retention rate is 77%, which measures a different outcome - continued enrollment after the first year - rather than eventual graduation.

Prospective students should ask how often students in their intended major complete at Abington, change campuses, or transfer elsewhere. Those pathways provide necessary context for interpreting a campus-level completion figure.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Abington?

College Scorecard program figures describe earnings observed about one year after completion for covered students in particular fields; they are not starting-salary offers or guarantees for Abington graduates. Reported examples include $73,647 for computer and information sciences, general; $67,759 for registered nursing; and $42,524 for business and commerce, general.

The figures should be interpreted cautiously. A field label may group programs or students beyond one campus, and the underlying population is limited to students whose earnings can be measured in the federal data. A one-year figure also reflects early career stage, local labor markets, further education, and differences in the work graduates choose. It should not be read as the median salary of every student who studied that subject at Abington.
