University of Alaska Southeast

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

The reported overall graduation rate for UAS is 28%. For the reported bachelor's-degree completion measures, the four-year rate is 7% and the six-year rate is 21%. These figures describe defined groups of entering students over specified time windows, not every student who attends UAS.

Federal graduation-rate measures typically focus on first-time, full-time degree-seeking students. That makes them incomplete measures of outcomes at a university that also enrolls transfer students, part-time learners, and adults. A student who transfers elsewhere may not count as a UAS graduate in the measure. Separately, the reported first-year retention rate is 76%; retention tracks continued enrollment, not eventual graduation. Prospective students should weigh these measures alongside the course sequence, scheduling, and completion requirements of their own program.

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

College Scorecard program figures report median earnings one year after completion of $53,862 for business administration, management and operations and $31,404 for general social sciences at UAS. These are program-level measures for graduates included in the Scorecard's earnings calculation, not starting-salary offers or predictions for an individual student.

One-year earnings can reflect local labor markets, prior work experience, further study, hours worked, and the kinds of jobs graduates take. They also say little about longer-term earnings or the cost of earning a credential. The figures are best used as one comparison point alongside program costs, career goals, and the availability of work in a student's intended location.
