What are the graduation rates for students at Quinnipiac University?

Quinnipiac's reported four-year graduation rate is 71%, and its six-year rate is 76%. These measures track the share of a defined entering undergraduate cohort that completed a degree within each time period; they are not completion forecasts for every incoming student.

The reported first-year retention rate is 89%, meaning most students in the measured first-time cohort returned for a second year. Graduation measures for first-time students do not necessarily describe transfer students, part-time students or graduate students. For applicants comparing offers, the distinction between four- and six-year completion matters financially: additional semesters can add tuition and living expenses even when a student ultimately graduates.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Quinnipiac University?

College Scorecard program figures offer a limited view of earnings roughly one year after completion for federally aided students in the measured programs. They are median reported earnings for the relevant program cohort, not starting-salary offers or predictions for an individual graduate.

Examples include $72,897 for registered nursing, $62,651 for accounting, $59,340 for information science and $34,800 for communication and media studies. The reported figure for psychology is $28,380. Differences can reflect occupation, further study, geography, cohort size and how soon graduates enter full-time work. A one-year measure is especially incomplete for majors whose graduates commonly pursue additional education.

Students can use these figures alongside program costs, likely borrowing and their own career plans. Quinnipiac's career-support offerings, such as advising on internships and job searches, are services rather than evidence that a particular student will obtain a job or earn the reported amount.
