Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Schuylkill

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

The reported overall graduation rate for Penn State Schuylkill is 32%, while the reported four-year and six-year rates are 26% and 29%, respectively. These measures should not be read as successive results for one identical group: graduation measures can use different entering cohorts, degree levels, and completion windows.

The reported first-year retention rate is 78%, measuring a different outcome - whether students return after their first year - rather than whether they ultimately finish a degree. Campus-change pathways further complicate a simple campus-only reading of completion statistics: a student who begins at Schuylkill may pursue a degree elsewhere in the Penn State system. Applicants comparing outcomes should look at the measure's cohort definition alongside the degree and campus where they intend to finish.

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

Reported program-level earnings figures offer a limited view of early career outcomes, not a salary promise. Figures identified as earnings approximately one year after graduation include $73,647 for computer and information sciences, $67,759 for registered nursing-related study, and $42,524 for general business or commerce.

Differences among fields can reflect occupations, locations, further study, and the composition of the measured group. The figures should not be treated as an expected starting salary for an individual Schuylkill graduate or assumed to be campus-exclusive. They are most useful when considered with program costs, likely borrowing, completion requirements, and the type of work a student wants to pursue.
