What are the graduation rates for students at Southwest University at El Paso?

IPEDS 2024-25 figures report an overall graduation rate of 59% for Southwest University at El Paso. Separate reported measures show a four-year graduation rate of 51% and a six-year rate of 67%. These are defined measures for eligible student cohorts, not a prediction of any individual applicant's chance of graduating.

The reported student retention rate is 64%. Retention tracks continued enrollment under a different definition from graduation, so the two percentages should not be added or read as interchangeable. Applicants comparing a certificate, associate, bachelor's, or graduate pathway should seek completion figures for the specific credential and ask how part-time enrollment or a change of program affects time to completion.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Southwest University at El Paso?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures for one year after completion report median earnings of $25,356 for public health and $23,296 for the category "Business, Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services, Other." These are field-specific, time-specific outcomes - not starting salaries promised to every student.

Scorecard earnings measures concern the graduates included in the federal data, rather than everyone who studied a subject. Employment status, further education, local wages, hours worked, and the mix of occupations can all affect a figure measured one year out. A program's licensure results, completion rate, total borrowing, and later career prospects are important additional context.
