Truman State University

What are the graduation rates for students at Truman State University?

Reported outcomes show that 58% of Truman students in the measured first-time, full-time cohort graduated within four years; 69% graduated within six years. These are cohort measures, not the probability of graduation for every new student.

The reported first-year retention rate is 85%, meaning that share of the measured entering cohort continued into its second year. Graduation measures typically follow entering groups over several years, so they describe earlier students rather than this year's applicants. Transfer students, part-time students, and students who take longer or complete a degree elsewhere may not be represented in the same way. Prospective students can use the figures to frame questions about course availability and advising without treating them as a promise of an individual outcome.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Truman State University?

College Scorecard program-level figures describe earnings observed about one year after completion for graduates included in that federal measure. They are not starting-salary offers, and they do not predict what every person with a Truman degree will earn.

Examples of reported one-year figures include $66,462 for computer and information sciences, $58,016 for registered nursing, and $44,260 for business administration. The reported figure for English language and literature is $21,335. Differences can reflect occupation, location, further study, and who appears in the federal earnings records - not simply the effect of a major.

These figures are most useful alongside program costs, graduate-school plans, and the kinds of work graduates pursue. A one-year measure can be particularly incomplete for fields in which many students continue into professional or graduate education.
