University of Alaska Fairbanks

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

UAF's reported four-year graduation rate is 25%, and its six-year rate is 39%. These measures describe defined cohorts of first-time, full-time students seeking bachelor's degrees; they are not the completion rates of every transfer student, part-time student or certificate seeker at UAF.

A reported overall graduation figure is 38%, while first-year retention is 74%. The measures answer different questions: retention tracks whether a student returns after the first year, whereas graduation rates follow completion over several years. Students comparing institutions should use the same cohort definition and time period for each comparison. For an individual student, a program's course sequence, transfer-credit evaluation and planned enrollment intensity may be more immediately useful for estimating time to completion.

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

Federal College Scorecard field-of-study figures offer a limited view of earnings roughly one year after program completion. Among UAF programs with reported figures, the listed one-year earnings include $67,843 for civil engineering, $62,735 for mechanical engineering and $43,220 for teacher education focused on specific levels and methods.

These are program-level earnings measures for eligible, federally aided completers represented in the federal data - not starting-salary offers or a forecast for every graduate. Reporting can depend on cohort size and available earnings records. The figures also do not account fully for differences in degree level, location, later career growth or students who continue their education. They are most useful when compared with the same measure for the same field and credential elsewhere.
