Pennsylvania State University-Penn State DuBois

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

Reported graduation measures for Penn State DuBois are 17% at four years, 22% at six years, and 34% on the reported overall measure. These figures should not be treated as interchangeable probabilities for an incoming student: graduation-rate measures can use different cohorts, time windows, and degree-completion definitions.

Campus-level graduation statistics require particular care at a Penn State location where students may deliberately begin at DuBois and finish at another campus. A departure from DuBois is not necessarily a departure from Penn State or from higher education. The reported student retention rate is 86%, but retention also measures a different outcome from graduation. Applicants comparing completion results should ask how the published measure treats students who change Penn State campuses and look for outcomes for their intended degree, not just a campus-wide percentage.

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

College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings measured one year after completion for specified groups of former students; they are not salary offers or a forecast for every Penn State DuBois graduate. The reported figures vary considerably by field.

• Information Science/Studies: $60,548.
• Engineering, General: $55,455.
• Business/Commerce, General: $42,524.

These are field-level reported earnings figures, not the expected pay for a particular job. Scorecard earnings measures generally focus on federally aided completers with observable earnings and can differ by credential level, cohort, location, and the proportion of graduates who continue their education. Students comparing programs should check the underlying credential and cohort before comparing two figures, and weigh work experience, further study, and local labor markets alongside the reported earnings.
