What are the graduation rates for students at Simmons University?

Simmons' reported six-year graduation rate is 72% for the measured cohort of first-time, full-time students pursuing a bachelor's degree. Its four-year rate is 65%. These measures describe earlier entering cohorts followed over different periods; they are not predictions for a new applicant or completion rates for every student at the university.

The reported first-year retention rate is 85%, indicating the share of the relevant entering cohort that continued into the next academic year. Transfer students, part-time students, and many graduate students are not represented in the standard first-time, full-time graduation measure. Applicants to tightly sequenced programs should also ask about progression and completion within their intended major, since an institution-wide rate cannot answer that question.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Simmons University?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures report one-year median earnings for measured, federally aided students who completed particular programs. They are early-career observations for defined groups - not starting-salary offers, estimates for every graduate, or promises of future income.

For Simmons, the reported one-year figure is $69,272 for registered nursing. Other reported examples include $45,844 for public health and $36,898 for communication and media studies. The figures should be read with their program labels: they do not necessarily identify the salary of someone in a particular job, and differences may reflect occupations, further study, location, and who appears in the measured group.

Students comparing programs should consider costs, likely borrowing, licensure requirements, and longer-term career paths alongside these early earnings. A one-year measure is especially limited for fields in which graduates commonly undertake additional education.
