The University of Tennessee-Martin

What are the graduation rates for students at The University of Tennessee-Martin?

UT Martin's reported six-year graduation rate is 53% for the measured cohort of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students. Its four-year rate is 37%. These measures describe whether members of an entering cohort completed a degree within a set period; they do not describe the outcomes of every transfer, part-time or returning adult student.

The difference between the two rates shows why time to degree matters in a cost comparison. A student who graduates after the fourth year may face additional tuition and living expenses, even though that student appears in the six-year completion rate. UT Martin's reported first-year retention rate is 77%, a separate measure of how many students return for another year rather than how many ultimately graduate.

What is the earning potential for graduates at The University of Tennessee-Martin?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures report median earnings for federally aided completers in a particular program approximately one year after completion, when sufficient data are available. They are observations about past students, not salary offers or predictions for new graduates.

For example, the reported one-year median is $58,143 for the registered nursing field and $53,659 for general engineering. Computer science is reported at $51,090, while business administration and management is $36,201. These figures should not be read as a ranking of program quality: occupation, location, further education, work hours and the composition of each measured group can all affect earnings. An early-career figure also says little about longer-term income or the costs required to enter a profession.
