What are the graduation rates for students at Troy University?

Troy University's reported six-year graduation rate is 49% for the tracked first-time student cohort, while its four-year rate is 28%. These measures ask whether students completed within a specified time; they do not describe the completion experience of every transfer, part-time, or returning adult student.

The reported overall graduation measure is 50%, and first-year retention is 71%. Retention measures the share who return after their first year, not the share who ultimately earn a degree. For prospective students, the gap between four- and six-year completion makes course sequencing and a realistic graduation plan worth examining. The figures alone cannot establish why individual students took longer or left without completing.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Troy University?

Program-level College Scorecard figures report median earnings about one year after completion for certain groups of former Troy students. They are historical, field-specific measures - not a starting-salary offer or a prediction of what a new graduate will earn.

Reported examples include approximately $54,369 for registered nursing, $52,073 for general computer and information sciences, and $41,526 for business administration. Other reported figures are about $38,003 for criminal justice and $31,040 for psychology. These comparisons should be made cautiously: the Scorecard figures cover people with available earnings records who meet its reporting criteria, rather than every person who completed a program. Employment status, further study, occupation, location, and the degree level behind a particular field's figure can all affect interpretation.

Troy offers career counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job fairs, and employer-recruitment support. Those services may help students prepare and search, but they should not be mistaken for evidence that a particular job or salary will follow graduation.
