The University of Texas at Dallas

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

Reported undergraduate outcomes show a 59% four-year graduation rate and a 76% six-year rate for UT Dallas. Its reported first-year retention rate is 90%.

Four- and six-year graduation rates follow defined cohorts of first-time, full-time degree-seeking undergraduates. They do not describe every transfer student, part-time student or graduate student. Retention instead measures whether students continue into the following year; it is not a graduation measure.

The gap between four- and six-year completion shows that a substantial share of the measured cohort finished after the traditional four-year point. Students comparing programs should consider whether prerequisites, course sequencing, transfer credit or their planned work schedule could affect their own time to degree. These institution-wide figures do not establish the completion rate of an individual major.

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

Field-of-study earnings figures for UT Dallas vary considerably by subject. Reported College Scorecard figures measured one year after completion include $71,113 for computer engineering, $66,488 for general computer and information sciences, and $49,523 for accounting. The reported figure for general biology is $21,427.

These are field-level reported earnings measures for graduates included in the federal data, not starting-salary offers for every student or guaranteed outcomes. They may reflect differences in employment patterns and in whether graduates pursue additional education. A one-year measurement also cannot show later career earnings. Some fields have no publishable figure, and a broad field label may combine outcomes that differ from those of a particular major.

Students can use these figures as one point of comparison alongside program costs, graduation outcomes and the kinds of jobs or further study they expect to pursue. The figures should not be read as a direct estimate of the financial return on any individual degree.
