What are the graduation rates for students at University of Alaska Anchorage?

UAA's reported graduation figures show that completing a degree on a conventional four-year schedule is uncommon among the students counted in that measure. The four-year graduation rate is 14%; the reported six-year rate is 28%.

These rates track defined entering cohorts over specified periods. They do not describe every student who eventually earns a credential: transfer entrants, many part-time students, and students pursuing shorter credentials may be outside a particular first-time-student graduation measure. UAA's separately reported overall graduation rate is 30%, while its student retention rate is 71%. Because these indicators can use different populations and observation periods, they should not be combined into a single probability of graduating. Applicants planning to work substantial hours or study part time may find a program-specific course sequence and realistic term-by-term plan more informative than a university-wide rate alone.

What is the earning potential for graduates at University of Alaska Anchorage?

College Scorecard program figures offer a limited look at reported earnings one year after completion for qualifying former students. They are program-level measures for the population represented in federal data, not a salary forecast for every graduate.

Examples of reported one-year figures include $73,122 for registered nursing, $55,504 for civil engineering, $47,951 for business administration, and $35,501 for journalism. Construction management's reported figure is $80,711. These numbers should not be interpreted as starting offers: earnings can reflect differences in prior work experience, hours worked, location, further study, and the types of jobs held. Some programs have too few reportable observations for a comparable figure. Students comparing majors should consider program costs, licensing requirements, completion time, and longer-term career paths alongside one-year earnings.
