Reported completion data show a four-year graduation rate of 64% and a six-year rate of 69% for Roger Williams University. These measures follow an entering cohort of first-time, full-time students; they should not be read as graduation probabilities for every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.
The relatively small difference between the four- and six-year figures means most students in this measured cohort who graduated within six years had done so by year four. The reported first-year retention rate is 81%, measuring a different outcome: whether entering students returned the following fall. Neither measure, on its own, explains why individual students leave, transfer, change majors, or take longer to finish.
Federal College Scorecard field-of-study figures provide a limited look at earnings roughly one year after program completion. They are median earnings for the covered group of federally aided completers with reportable employment earnings, not starting salaries promised to everyone with that major.
Among the reported Roger Williams University fields, one-year median earnings were $67,169 for construction management, $63,964 for mechanical engineering, and $62,538 for civil engineering. Other reported examples were $47,654 for business administration, $40,236 for architecture, and $31,679 for psychology. Differences can reflect occupations, graduate study, location, and which former students have earnings captured by the measure; the numbers do not isolate the effect of attending this university.
Students comparing programs should consider typical job requirements, the likelihood of further study, debt, and longer-term earnings alongside a one-year figure. Small programs and reporting rules can also limit which field-level results are published.
