What are the graduation rates for students at Post University?

Post University's reported overall graduation rate was 25% in the 2024-25 institutional figures. Its reported four-year rate was 22%, while its six-year rate was 24%. These are cohort measures: they track defined groups of entering students over specified periods, rather than predicting whether any individual applicant will finish.

Those rates warrant attention, but they do not describe every student Post serves. Standard graduation-rate cohorts can differ substantially from a university's population of transfer students, part-time learners, and adults returning to college. The reported retention rate was 33%, a separate measure of continued enrollment rather than eventual graduation.

Applicants can make the figures more useful by asking for completion and persistence information specific to their program, study format, and entry route. A transfer student with substantial accepted credit, for example, should not use a first-time-student graduation rate as a personal completion forecast.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Post University?

Federal College Scorecard program figures offer one limited view of earnings approximately one year after completion for graduates represented in its data. Reported median earnings include $60,907 for management information systems and $54,265 for business administration; other examples are $46,200 for criminal justice and $33,882 for psychology.

These are program-level medians for the covered former students, not starting-salary offers or promises to future graduates. The figures do not establish what any particular student will earn, and they should not be read as direct comparisons of instructional quality. Occupation, location, previous work experience, further education, and the mix of graduates with usable earnings records can all affect a program's result.

For a career decision, compare earnings with the credential's full cost and with the jobs it can actually qualify you to pursue. Post reports career-center services including résumé assistance, interview preparation, career counseling, job-search resources, and employer events; access to those services is not itself an employment outcome.
