What are the graduation rates for students at Thomas University?

Thomas University's reported graduation and retention figures call for close attention to definitions. The supplied IPEDS-based figures include an overall graduation rate of 28%, a four-year rate of 3%, and a six-year rate of 7%. These measures should not be treated as interchangeable: graduation tables can describe different entering cohorts, credentials, or reporting windows.

The reported student retention rate is 49%. Retention usually tracks whether a specified group of first-time students returns the following year; it does not measure whether all enrolled students eventually earn a degree. Transfer students and many adult learners may fall outside the familiar first-time, full-time graduation cohort even though they represent an important part of enrollment.

When comparing institutions, use the same cohort definition and reporting year. An applicant can also ask a program for its recent completion results, typical course availability, and graduation requirements - particularly if entering with transfer credit or studying part time.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Thomas University?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures report median earnings for federally aided former students who were working and not enrolled one year after completing a program. They describe the observed group at that point in time, not a salary promised to a new student.

In the figures dated October 2026, the reported one-year median was $66,955 for registered nursing and related nursing programs. Clinical and medical laboratory science was $61,068; social work was $31,605; and multi- or interdisciplinary studies was $26,341. These are field-level measures, not an institution-wide estimate for every Thomas University graduate.

Pay can vary with occupation, location, hours worked, prior experience, and whether a graduate continues studying. Small cohorts and reporting rules can also limit what can be concluded from field-level results. Compare earnings alongside program cost, licensing requirements, completion outcomes, and the kind of work a degree qualifies someone to pursue.
