What are the graduation rates for students at Seattle University?

Seattle University's reported four-year graduation rate is 67%, while its six-year rate is 76%. These measures track a defined cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking bachelor's degrees; they do not describe the completion rate of every undergraduate, transfer student or graduate student.

The difference between the two rates shows that some students in the cohort completed after four years but within six. Reported first-year retention is 84%, a separate measure of students who return the following year. These figures provide useful context, but they do not establish how long an individual student will take - especially in a program with prerequisites, clinical placements or a change-of-major process.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Seattle University?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings about one year after completion for graduates included in its federal-aid-based measurement population. They are not starting-salary offers, figures for every graduate, or promises of what a new student will earn.

In figures identified for October 2026, reported one-year earnings include $82,122 for computer science, $72,161 for registered nursing and $35,334 for psychology. These are field-specific outcomes, not an institution-wide salary. Differences may reflect occupations, further study, local labor markets and the graduates captured in each measure; some programs have no publishable figure. Students comparing majors should weigh these earnings alongside program costs, likely graduate-school requirements and the kinds of work they want to pursue.
