The University of Texas at Arlington

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

UT Arlington's reported six-year graduation rate is 54%, while its four-year rate is 34%. These figures describe the measured entering cohort, not the likelihood that every current student or transfer applicant will graduate on the same timetable.

Federal graduation-rate measures generally follow first-time, full-time, degree-seeking undergraduates who begin in a particular year. They therefore leave out many students who enter as transfers, even though transfers are a substantial part of UTA's enrollment. UTA's reported first-year retention rate is 73%; retention measures return for the following year, not eventual degree completion. Students comparing completion figures should consider their own credit load, transfer credits and major sequence rather than treating a single institution-wide rate as a forecast.

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

College Scorecard program data show substantial differences in reported earnings one year after completion. These are historical outcomes for the graduates included in each reported program measure, not salaries promised to new students.

Examples in the available one-year figures include median earnings of about $72,026 for registered nursing, $71,876 for computer science and $42,533 for business administration and management. The reported figure for general biology is $25,484. Program-level measures cover eligible federally aided completers with reportable earnings and can omit people who continue their education or do not appear in the measured workforce. Early earnings also reflect occupation, location, hours worked and further training; they do not measure the full long-term value or cost of a degree.
