Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology

What are the graduation rates for students at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology?

In reported IPEDS outcomes, 64% of Rose-Hulman students in the relevant entering cohort completed within four years, and 78% completed within six years. These measures track a defined group of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students; they are not completion predictions for an individual applicant or a measure of every transfer student's experience.

The reported first-year retention rate is 92%, meaning most students in that measured group returned for their second year. The difference between four- and six-year graduation rates matters when budgeting: additional terms can change total tuition and living costs even when a student ultimately earns a degree. Neither rate, by itself, explains why students remain enrolled, leave, or take longer to finish.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology?

Federal College Scorecard program-level figures report earnings measured approximately one year after completion for certain Rose-Hulman programs. Reported examples include a median of $77,382 for computer science, $74,155 for computer engineering, and $72,316 for mechanical engineering.

Other reported one-year medians include $69,749 for chemical engineering and $65,537 for biomedical or medical engineering. These are program-specific medians for the students represented in the federal earnings data, not starting-salary offers for every graduate. They do not capture all graduates, career changes, benefits, local living costs, or long-term earnings growth. Students comparing majors should also consider how much they may borrow and what work they hope to do, rather than treating a one-year median as a guaranteed return.
