What are the graduation rates for students at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston?

A single four- or six-year graduation rate is not a useful stand-in for outcomes across UTHealth Houston's programs. Those standard undergraduate measures track defined groups of first-time students, whereas this institution enrolls many students after prior college study and offers graduate and professional degrees with different expected completion times.

Prospective students should instead seek the completion measure for their intended program and entering cohort. For a professional degree, useful questions include the proportion completing on time, licensing-examination performance where applicable, and how many students leave or change programs. Compare figures only when they cover the same degree, student population, and time period; a university-wide statistic can obscure important differences.

What is the earning potential for graduates at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures report one-year-post-completion earnings of $69,110 for registered nursing and related nursing programs and $63,237 for dental support services and allied professions at UTHealth Houston. They are field-specific, early-career measures - not salaries promised to an individual graduate.

College Scorecard earnings measures cover qualifying federally aided completers with observed earnings under its methodology, rather than every alumnus. The supplied figures do not establish what a particular student will earn or describe the entire career trajectory. Degree level, occupation, location, hours worked, further study, and the date of the underlying cohort can all affect comparisons. Students weighing a program should consider these figures alongside its full cost, likely borrowing, licensure requirements, and the jobs for which the credential qualifies them.
