What are the graduation rates for students at University of Dallas?

University of Dallas completion figures show that 67% of the reported first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort graduated within four years, while 73% graduated within six years. These measures follow an entering cohort over different lengths of time; they do not describe every student who attended the university.

The reported first-year retention rate was 77%, meaning roughly three-quarters of the measured entering group returned the following fall. Transfer students, part-time students, and graduate students may have different educational paths that these particular graduation rates do not capture. Students comparing institutions should keep the cohort definitions and time periods consistent rather than treating a six-year rate as the share who finish in four.

What is the earning potential for graduates at University of Dallas?

Federal College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings for certain University of Dallas programs one year after completion. For example, the reported median was $39,533 for business administration, $39,179 for economics, and $33,910 for English language and literature.

These are program-level medians for the graduates included in the federal measure, not starting-salary offers to every graduate. They capture an early point in a career and do not account fully for occupation, location, further education, or later earnings growth. Students weighing career outcomes should compare the same degree level and measurement period across schools and consider internships, graduate-school plans, and likely borrowing alongside the earnings figure.
