What are the graduation rates for students at Quincy University?

Quincy University's reported six-year graduation rate is 45%, while its four-year rate is 35%. These rates describe a defined entering group of first-time, full-time students seeking bachelor's degrees - not every transfer student, part-time student, or graduate student.

The six-year measure gives that cohort additional time to complete; it should not be read as the percentage of all students who will eventually earn a degree. The reported first-to-second-year retention rate is 70%, a different measure that tracks continued enrollment rather than graduation. Applicants comparing institutions should use the same cohort definition and reporting period, and should ask their intended department how course sequencing may affect a four-year plan.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Quincy University?

College Scorecard program figures offer a limited view of earnings approximately one year after completion for graduates with measurable earnings. They are not starting-salary offers to every graduate, and they do not predict what a particular student will earn.

Reported one-year median figures include $59,936 for registered nursing and $39,056 for management sciences and quantitative methods. The corresponding figures are $35,865 for liberal arts and general studies and $29,299 for sports, kinesiology, and physical education/fitness. Program figures may reflect small or different groups of graduates, and one-year earnings do not capture later advancement, graduate study, geographic differences, or the cost of obtaining the degree. Students comparing programs should weigh these measures alongside curriculum, licensure requirements, and likely borrowing.
