The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley

What are the graduation rates for students at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley?

UTRGV's reported graduation rate is 51% within six years for the applicable first-time, full-time bachelor's-degree cohort. The four-year rate is 31%. These measures follow defined entering cohorts; they are not the percentage of all current students - including transfers and part-time students - who will eventually earn a degree.

The reported first-year retention rate is 81%, meaning roughly four in five students in the measured entering group returned for the following year. Retention and graduation answer different questions: returning after year one does not mean a student will finish on a four-year schedule. Students comparing programs should also ask about course sequencing and whether required classes or clinical placements are available when needed.

What is the earning potential for graduates at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley?

Reported program earnings at UTRGV vary considerably by field. College Scorecard figures supplied for one year after completion include $65,185 for electrical, electronics, and communications engineering, $60,833 for registered nursing, and $52,532 for computer science. Examples from other fields include $30,605 for business administration and $24,487 for psychology.

These are program-level, one-year post-completion earnings measures for the students represented in the federal data, not starting-salary offers or promises about an individual graduate. Scorecard earnings measures are generally based on federally aided completers with observable earnings; they do not describe every person who finished a program. Degree level, further study, location, work hours, and which graduates have reportable earnings all affect interpretation. A useful comparison also considers program costs and licensing or graduate-school requirements, rather than ranking majors by a single early-career figure.
