What are the graduation rates for students at Rush University?

Rush University's mix of transfer, graduate and professional students makes a conventional freshman four-year graduation rate a limited way to judge its programs. The standard federal graduation-rate measure follows a defined group of first-time, full-time undergraduates; it does not describe the completion experience of all transfer students or graduate students.

In the 2024-25 enrollment data, Rush recorded no first-time degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates and 66 transfer-in degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates. For a useful comparison, applicants should seek completion and licensure-exam results for their intended program, confirm which entering cohort each measure follows, and distinguish finishing a degree from passing a separate professional licensing examination.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Rush University?

College Scorecard program data reports $69,909 in earnings one year after completion for Rush students in the allied health diagnostic, intervention and treatment professions category. This is a program-field measure, not a starting-salary promise for every Rush graduate or every occupation within that category.

Earnings figures are most useful when read alongside the credential earned, the population included in the measure and its timing. One-year earnings do not account for every graduate's work hours, location, further schooling or debt. Rush also makes individual and group career counseling and job-placement support available to undergraduates; access to those services should be distinguished from a verified job offer or a particular salary.
