Traditional four-year and six-year freshman graduation rates are a poor way to evaluate RMU's predominantly graduate and professional programs. Those measures generally follow first-time, full-time undergraduates seeking a bachelor's degree; they do not describe how a physical therapy, physician assistant, or other graduate cohort progresses.
More useful measures are the outcomes for the specific degree under consideration: cohort completion, time to degree, attrition, first-time licensing-exam results where applicable, and placement disclosures with clearly defined populations. Applicants should check the reporting period and denominator for each figure. A high completion percentage for one program should not be generalized to every RMU degree.
A single institution-wide salary figure would not give a useful picture of RMU graduates' earning potential. The university serves different health professions, including entry-level clinicians and people pursuing additional qualifications after they have already begun working.
When comparing earnings information, establish whether it describes a median or mean, how long after completion it was measured, and whether it includes only graduates with matched employment records. Prior work experience, profession, location, hours worked, and additional training can all affect pay. Program-level earnings are best considered alongside tuition, borrowing, completion, and licensing outcomes - not as a promised salary.
