University of Arkansas-Fort Smith

What are the graduation rates for students at University of Arkansas-Fort Smith?

UAFS's reported six-year graduation rate is 38%, while its four-year rate is 25%. These figures refer to the federally defined cohort of first-time, full-time students used for graduation-rate reporting; they do not describe the outcomes of every transfer, part-time, or returning adult student.

The reported first-year retention rate is 70%, meaning roughly seven in ten students in the measured full-time entering cohort returned the following fall. Graduation rates are useful for planning, but they do not explain why a student left or whether that student completed a credential elsewhere. Applicants comparing programs should ask about the course sequence and how often required classes are offered, particularly when clinical placements or prerequisites can affect time to completion.

What is the earning potential for graduates at University of Arkansas-Fort Smith?

Federal College Scorecard field-of-study figures show substantial differences in reported earnings one year after completion among UAFS programs. These are historical, program-level measures for the students included in the federal data - not starting-salary offers or predictions for a particular applicant.

• Registered nursing: $60,394.
• Allied health diagnostic, intervention, and treatment professions: $54,691.
• Computer and information sciences, general: $47,923.
• Business administration, management, and operations: $32,587.
• Psychology, general: $26,233.

Scorecard earnings measures depend on the federal-aid population and on whether enough eligible records are available for a program to be reported. They do not capture every graduate, and one-year results can change considerably with further education, licensure, location, or experience. Students should use them alongside program costs, completion requirements, and the kinds of jobs they actually want.
