The reported retention rate is 78%, a different measure concerning continued enrollment rather than degree completion. Students considering the 2+2 route should ask how changes of campus are reflected in the outcome measure they are using and look for results for their intended major.

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

Program-level College Scorecard figures report earnings measured one year after completion, not a salary promised to each Fayette graduate. The reported figures differ substantially by field: registered nursing is listed at $67,759, management information systems and services at $57,465, and business or commerce at $42,524.

For comparison, the reported one-year figures include $34,135 for criminal justice and corrections and $29,652 for general psychology. These are field-of-study measures, not estimates tailored to an applicant's experience, location, job, or further education. Students should check the underlying Scorecard entry for its cohort and earnings definition before comparing programs: small groups, graduates working outside the field, and differences in whether a credential leads directly to employment can all affect interpretation. One-year earnings also leave out later career growth and the cost of earning the degree.
