The University of Tampa

What are the graduation rates for students at The University of Tampa?

The University of Tampa's reported four-year graduation rate is 55%, and its six-year rate is 64%. These measures follow an entering group of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students; they do not describe every transfer, part-time or graduate student.

The difference between the two rates shows that some students complete after the fourth year. The reported first-year retention rate is 85%, measuring the share of an entering group that returns the following fall. Retention and graduation rates answer different questions, and neither identifies why an individual student stayed, left or took longer to finish. Applicants comparing colleges should also consider their intended major's course sequence and whether their financial plan remains workable beyond four years.

What is the earning potential for graduates at The University of Tampa?

Federal College Scorecard program-level figures give a limited view of earnings one year after completion for eligible former students. For The University of Tampa, reported examples include $60,038 for registered nursing, $51,611 for accounting and $40,708 for marketing.

Other reported one-year figures include $34,278 for communication and media studies and $29,159 for psychology. These are program-level median earnings measures for the federal-aid-recipient population captured by the data, not starting-salary offers to every graduate. Small groups, differences in employment and further study, and the short period after completion all limit comparisons. A one-year figure is especially incomplete for fields in which graduate school or professional training is common.
