What are the graduation rates for students at Texas A & M University-Corpus Christi?

The reported six-year graduation rate is 40% for the tracked cohort of first-time, full-time students pursuing a bachelor's degree at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. The reported four-year rate is 25%. These measures follow particular entering cohorts; they are not the graduation rate for every transfer student, part-time student or graduate student.

The reported first-year retention rate is 58%, meaning the share of the measured first-time cohort that returned the following fall. Retention and graduation figures describe different points in a student's path and do not establish why an individual leaves or takes longer to finish. Applicants comparing schools should ask their intended department about course availability, sequencing and advising - especially if a required course is offered infrequently or clinical placements determine progress.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Texas A & M University-Corpus Christi?

Reported earnings one year after completion vary considerably by field at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. College Scorecard program figures include approximately $67,969 for computer and information sciences, $62,271 for registered nursing and $60,083 for mechanical engineering. The corresponding figure for psychology is approximately $25,328.

These are program-level, one-year earnings measures for graduates who can be matched to the underlying federal-aid and earnings records - not starting-salary offers to every graduate. A figure may combine people in different jobs and locations, and it does not capture graduates who continue studying, work outside the measured population or enter a field where pay grows later. Students can use it as one comparison point alongside program costs, licensing outcomes and the kinds of jobs a degree typically supports.
