Union Commonwealth University

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

Union Commonwealth University's reported six-year graduation rate is 32%, while its four-year rate is 22%. These measures follow a defined cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree; they should not be read as completion rates for every transfer student, part-time student, or graduate student.

The reported first-year retention rate is 64%, meaning that roughly two-thirds of the measured first-time cohort returned for the following fall. Graduation and retention figures describe outcomes, not their causes. A student weighing the university's cost should ask how often students in their intended major complete on time and what happens if required courses must be repeated or taken in an additional term.

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

College Scorecard program data report median earnings one year after completion of approximately $57,226 for the reported registered-nursing field and $31,123 for the reported business-administration field at Union Commonwealth University. These are field-specific, time-specific measures - not a starting-salary offer or a forecast for a new enrollee.

The figures describe graduates represented in the Scorecard earnings measure, rather than every student who entered either program. Differences in occupations, licensure, location, further study, and the number of graduates included can all affect interpretation. One year is also a short window for assessing a degree's longer-term value. Students comparing programs should consider likely total borrowing, completion time, and any licensing requirements alongside reported earnings.
