Saint Mary's University of Minnesota

What are the graduation rates for students at Saint Mary's University of Minnesota?

Reported outcomes show that 60% of Saint Mary's students in the measured first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort graduated within four years, while 66% graduated within six years. These are cohort measures, not predictions for every current student.

The additional six-year graduates illustrate why the time window matters: some students complete a degree after the conventional four-year period. The reported first-year retention rate is 75%, meaning roughly three-quarters of students in the measured cohort returned the following fall. Transfer students, part-time students, and many adult learners are not represented in the standard first-time, full-time graduation-rate measure. Applicants in those groups should seek outcomes relevant to their own program and enrollment pattern.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Saint Mary's University of Minnesota?

College Scorecard program figures offer a limited view of earnings among federally aided former students measured about one year after completing a credential. They are not starting-salary offers, and they should not be read as the expected earnings of every Saint Mary's graduate.

Reported one-year figures include $67,392 for registered nursing, $55,971 for information science, and $50,522 for business administration. Psychology is reported at $33,601. These are field-of-study figures: a field can contain more than one credential level or career path, so applicants should check the underlying program and credential before comparing them.

Earnings reflect factors beyond a college program, including occupation, location, prior experience, further education, and whether a former student is working during the measurement period. They also omit benefits and do not show how earnings change later in a career. Saint Mary's career services are a separate consideration from these observed outcomes; reported offerings include career counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job-search resources, employer events, and alumni networking.
