What are the graduation rates for students at Union Adventist University?

Reported completion figures show a four-year graduation rate of 48% and a six-year rate of 58% for Union Adventist University. The longer measurement window allows for students who finish after four years; neither rate predicts an individual student's outcome.

These cohort-based rates generally track first-time, full-time students pursuing the relevant credential, so they do not describe every transfer or part-time student. A separately reported overall graduation rate is 52%; it should not be substituted for the specifically identified four- or six-year measure. The reported first-year retention rate is 84%, meaning that most students in the measured entering cohort returned for a second year.

Students planning a highly sequenced major should examine its course rotation and clinical or field-placement timetable. Those details can affect an individual graduation plan in ways an institution-wide rate cannot show.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Union Adventist University?

College Scorecard program figures report earnings measured about one year after completion for certain former Union students. The figures are useful comparisons, but they are not starting-salary offers or forecasts for everyone who enters a major.

  • Registered nursing: reported one-year earnings of $62,364.
  • Teacher education for specific levels and methods: reported one-year earnings of $41,431.
  • Business administration and management: reported one-year earnings of $40,587.

College Scorecard earnings measures draw on the earnings records of eligible, federally aided completers; they do not represent every graduate. Employment location, further study, hours worked and occupation can all affect the result. The measure also says nothing on its own about an individual's borrowing, benefits or long-term earnings. Students comparing fields should consider program costs and professional requirements alongside these early-career figures.
