What are the graduation rates for students at Salem University?

Salem University's reported overall graduation rate is 20% in the 2024-25 institutional data. Its separately reported four-year rate is 16%, and its six-year rate is 17%. These are measures tied to defined entering cohorts and reporting periods, not a prediction of any individual student's chance of graduating.

The reported first-year retention rate is 55%, indicating that just over half of the students in the relevant cohort returned the following year under that measure. Graduation and retention figures warrant particular care at an institution that also enrolls transfer students: standard first-time-student graduation rates do not describe the outcomes of everyone who attends. Prospective students can make these figures more useful by asking their intended program for recent completion rates, the usual course schedule, and the support available if a required course is not passed on the first attempt.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Salem University?

Federal College Scorecard program-level figures report earnings measured about one year after completion for certain Salem University fields. The reported figure is $36,294 for computer and information sciences, general.

For business administration, management, and operations, the reported one-year figure is $32,737; for criminal justice and corrections, it is $28,271. College Scorecard earnings measures generally concern graduates with federal-aid records whose earnings can be observed. They are not starting-salary offers, do not describe every graduate, and should not be read as earnings guaranteed by a degree.

Field, location, further education, employment status, and the size of the measured group can all affect interpretation. A student comparing programs should consider these figures alongside program costs, likely borrowing, completion prospects, and the credentials required for the work they hope to do.
