What are the graduation rates for students at Robert Morris University?

RMU's reported six-year graduation rate was 66%, while its four-year rate was 52%. These IPEDS measures track specified cohorts of first-time, full-time students seeking bachelor's degrees; they do not describe the completion rate of every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.

The reported first-year retention rate was 83%, meaning that most students in the measured first-time cohort returned the following fall. Retention and graduation measure different points in a student's path. Neither figure, on its own, explains why an individual student stays, leaves, or takes longer to finish. Applicants comparing programs should also consider degree sequencing, required placements, and whether courses needed for their major are offered when they plan to take them.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Robert Morris University?

College Scorecard program figures offer a limited view of earnings one year after completion for graduates in particular fields who meet the federal data's reporting criteria. They are historical, program-level measures - not starting-salary offers, guarantees, or figures that describe every graduate.

Among the reported one-year figures, the median for registered nursing-related programs was $59,571; engineering, general, was $54,446; accounting was $51,705; and business administration was $41,788. Psychology, general, was reported at $26,488. Comparing these numbers requires care: graduates may enter different occupations, pursue further education, work in different locations, or have different amounts of prior experience. Small programs may also have limited reportable data.

A useful comparison pairs earnings with a student's likely borrowing, the cost of the degree, and the career paths available in the specific major. A one-year figure cannot capture later career progression or nonfinancial reasons for choosing a field.
