SUNY Oneonta

What are the graduation rates for students at SUNY Oneonta?

SUNY Oneonta's reported four-year graduation rate is 61%, while its six-year rate is 69%. These measures follow defined groups of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree; they do not describe every transfer, part-time, or returning student.

The university also reports a 76% student retention rate, an indicator of how many students continued after their first year. Graduation and retention figures answer different questions, and rates published together may track different entering cohorts. For an applicant, the difference between four- and six-year completion is financially relevant: additional semesters can add tuition and living costs, even when a student ultimately earns the degree.

What is the earning potential for graduates at SUNY Oneonta?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures offer a limited view of earnings about one year after completion for qualifying former students. Among the reported SUNY Oneonta fields, the figure for accounting is $59,827; mathematics is $38,168, and psychology is $31,254. These are field-level observations, not promised starting salaries.

Scorecard earnings measures cover specific federally aided student populations for which usable earnings information is available. They do not capture every graduate or fully explain differences in occupation, location, further study, hours worked, or prior experience. Students comparing majors should also consider the costs and credentials required for their intended career: one-year earnings may be particularly incomplete for fields in which graduate study or professional licensure is common.
