Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Mont Alto

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

Reported Mont Alto completion figures include a 22% four-year graduation rate and a 27% six-year graduation rate. A separately reported overall graduation figure is 34%. These measures can use different entering cohorts, degree types, or reporting windows and should not be added together or treated as interchangeable.

Graduation-rate measures commonly follow a defined group of first-time, full-time students. They may not describe transfer students, part-time students, or everyone who starts at Mont Alto and completes a Penn State degree at another campus in the same way. The reported student retention rate is 83%; retention measures continued enrollment, not graduation.

For an applicant, the most useful follow-up is major-specific: ask where required courses will be offered, how often they will run, and how Penn State will support on-time completion when Mont Alto closes. The percentages alone do not establish why students did or did not finish.

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

Federal College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings measured about one year after completion for defined groups of former students. Examples associated with the supplied Penn State Mont Alto records include $67,759 for registered nursing, $60,548 for information science, and $42,524 for general business or commerce.

These are historical measures for people whose earnings could be matched in the reporting system, not starting-salary offers or predictions for an individual student. Program-level federal earnings measures generally summarize a qualifying cohort rather than every graduate; small cohorts may not have a published figure. Degree level, occupation, location, additional study, and the exact Penn State campus or reporting unit associated with a record all matter when interpreting a result. Applicants comparing majors should pair earnings information with the degree's total cost, completion requirements, and the careers it actually prepares students to enter.
