Stockton's reported six-year graduation rate is 69% for the measured cohort of first-time, full-time students pursuing a bachelor's degree. Its reported four-year rate is 51%. These rates describe groups of students over defined periods; they do not predict whether an individual student will graduate on schedule.
The reported first-year retention rate is 79%, meaning roughly four in five students in the measured group returned for the following year. Graduation measures for first-time, full-time entrants do not fully describe the experience of transfer students, part-time students, or students who leave and finish a degree elsewhere.
The difference between the four- and six-year rates matters financially: additional terms can mean more tuition, living expenses, or delayed full-time employment. Students in tightly sequenced majors can use a degree plan to see when required courses, placements, and prerequisites are offered.
Federal College Scorecard program data report earnings measured about one year after completion for former students in specific fields who meet the data's federal-aid reporting criteria. These are field-specific median earnings measures, not salaries promised to all Stockton graduates.
For example, the reported one-year figure is $68,422 for registered nursing and related nursing study. Information science or studies has a reported figure of $47,894, while the figure for business administration and management is $36,920. Comparisons should account for the fact that these fields lead to different jobs, licensing routes, and rates of further study.
Early-career earnings can change with occupation, location, hours worked, graduate education, and experience. A one-year median also leaves out important parts of a decision, including program costs, debt, job satisfaction, and longer-term prospects. It should not be read as the earnings of every graduate in a major.
