What are the graduation rates for students at Selma University?

IPEDS 2024-25 figures report a 6% overall graduation rate for Selma University. The reported four-year rate is 0%, while the six-year rate is 6%. These are cohort measures, not a prediction that any particular applicant will or will not graduate.

Federal graduation-rate measures generally follow specified groups of first-time, full-time students over set periods. They do not capture every outcome for transfer students, part-time students, or students who complete a credential elsewhere. Selma University's reported retention rate is 67%, a different measure concerning students' continuation rather than degree completion. With a small entering class, a change involving only a few students can noticeably move a percentage; applicants should nevertheless take the completion figures seriously when asking how often required courses run and what academic support is available.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Selma University?

Published program-level earnings figures do not establish a reliable one-year-after-completion salary expectation for Selma University's listed fields of study. Applicants should not substitute a national salary figure for an outcome measured among this institution's former students.

Earnings data, when available, depend on the people included, the time since leaving college, and whether the measure is a median or an average. They may also exclude people without matching employment records or combine graduates whose career paths differ substantially. For a career-focused program, students can ask for recent, clearly defined information about completion, further study, licensure where relevant, and employment without treating any single salary figure as a promised return.
