What are the graduation rates for students at Southern Utah University?

Southern Utah University's reported four-year graduation rate is 33%, while its reported six-year rate is 50%. These measures typically follow first-time, full-time students pursuing a bachelor's degree and ask whether they completed within the specified period. They should not be read as the graduation probability for every transfer, part-time or graduate student.

A separately reported overall graduation figure is 61%; it should not be substituted for the six-year bachelor's measure because reported completion indicators may use different cohorts or definitions. SUU's reported student retention rate is 76%, a measure of continuation rather than graduation.

For a student planning costs, the gap between four- and six-year completion is consequential: an additional term may mean further tuition and living expenses. Graduation statistics alone do not explain why students take longer. A major's course sequence, transfer-credit evaluation and an individual degree plan provide more useful guidance for estimating time to completion.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Southern Utah University?

Federal College Scorecard program figures show that early earnings vary substantially by field for former Southern Utah University students. In the supplied one-year-after-completion measure, the reported figure is about $51,826 for registered nursing, compared with $37,792 for business administration and $23,965 for psychology.

These are program-level observations, not promised starting salaries or estimates of what every graduate will earn. College Scorecard earnings generally describe federally aided students with measurable earnings in the relevant reporting period; they do not represent every person who studied in a program. Employment status, location, further study, occupation and the number of students included can all affect interpretation. A one-year measure also says little about longer-term earnings or whether a student works in a field related to their degree.
