What are the graduation rates for students at St. Mary's University?

St. Mary's reported a 59% six-year graduation rate and a 49% four-year graduation rate in its 2024-25 institutional reporting. These measures follow a defined cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree, not everyone who enrolls, including transfers and part-time students.

The gap between the two rates shows that some students in the measured cohort finished after four years but within six. The reported first-year retention rate is 73%; retention measures whether students return for a subsequent year, not whether they eventually graduate. None of these figures predicts an individual student's outcome. A prospective student can use a four-year academic plan and a program-specific course schedule to assess whether finishing on a preferred timeline is feasible.

What is the earning potential for graduates at St. Mary's University?

College Scorecard program figures offer a limited view of earnings about one year after completion for federally aided students whose earnings can be measured. They are reported medians for particular fields and cohorts, not starting-salary offers or earnings guaranteed by a St. Mary's degree.

Examples in the available program figures include a median of $56,105 for accounting and related services and $43,635 for marketing. The reported figure for psychology is $20,975. These differences should not be read as a ranking of academic quality: graduates may enter different occupations, pursue further study, work different hours or live in different labor markets. Small cohorts and privacy rules can also limit what is reported. Students comparing programs should consider later-career information, licensure or graduate-school plans, and the likely borrowing required to complete their degree.
