Towson University

What are the graduation rates for students at Towson University?

Towson's reported six-year graduation rate is 69% for the tracked cohort of first-time, full-time, degree-seeking undergraduates. Its four-year rate is 47%. These measures follow entering cohorts over different periods; they do not describe the completion rate of every student who attends, including all transfer or part-time students.

The difference between the four- and six-year figures is relevant to budgeting: students who need more than four years may face additional tuition and living expenses. The reported first-year retention rate is 83%, meaning that proportion continued at the institution from the first fall to the following fall under the measure used. None of these rates, on its own, explains why a student stayed, left or took longer to finish.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Towson University?

Field-of-study earnings can help applicants compare possible early career outcomes, but they are not salary promises. College Scorecard figures supplied for Towson report median earnings one year after completion for the relevant federally aided graduates represented in each field's measure. They do not describe every graduate or establish what a new student will earn.

Reported examples include $67,719 for registered nursing, $67,242 for computer science and $57,822 for accounting. The corresponding figure for psychology is $29,737. These are broad fields rather than offers for specific jobs, and one-year earnings can reflect differences in occupation, location, hours worked and whether graduates pursue further education. Some fields also have no publishable figure, often because the available data do not meet reporting requirements.

Towson's career services can support a job search through counseling, résumé and interview preparation, employer events, job listings and alumni connections. Those services should not be confused with measured employment or earnings outcomes.
