State University of New York at Plattsburgh

What are the graduation rates for students at State University of New York at Plattsburgh?

Reported completion data show a 44% four-year graduation rate and a 59% six-year rate for SUNY Plattsburgh. These measures follow a defined cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree; they do not describe the graduation prospects of every transfer, part-time, or returning adult student.

The difference between the four- and six-year figures shows why time to degree matters when estimating cost. Students whose plans depend on finishing in four years should examine their major's course sequence, prerequisites, and availability of required placements. The reported first-year retention rate is 73%, a separate measure of how many students returned the following fall. Neither retention nor graduation figures establish why an individual student stayed, left, or took longer to finish.

What is the earning potential for graduates at State University of New York at Plattsburgh?

Federal College Scorecard program data offer a limited view of earnings roughly one year after completion for graduates with earnings records that can be matched. They describe past groups, not what a new student will earn, and program figures should not be read as starting-salary offers.

Examples of reported one-year figures include about $68,198 for registered nursing, $48,130 for computer and information sciences, $40,412 for accounting, and $30,208 for psychology. Outcomes vary with occupation, location, further education, hours worked, and the students represented in each measure. An early earnings comparison may be particularly incomplete for fields where graduate study or professional licensing commonly follows a bachelor's degree. Students weighing programs should consider these figures alongside debt, program costs, and the kinds of work graduates can enter.
