UE's reported four-year graduation rate is 57%, and its six-year rate is 65%. These figures describe defined groups of first-time, full-time, degree-seeking undergraduates tracked over different periods; they are not the probability that any particular student, including a transfer or part-time student, will graduate.
The separately reported overall graduation measure is 64%, while first-year retention is 83%. Retention measures how many students continue from one fall to the next, not how many eventually earn a degree. For applicants comparing institutions, the four-year figure is particularly relevant to planning expenses: extra semesters can add tuition and living costs even when a student ultimately completes a degree. Students in programs with clinical, licensure, or study-abroad requirements should ask for a term-by-term plan rather than treating an institution-wide rate as a program-specific outcome.
College Scorecard field-of-study figures report median earnings for federally aided completers measured one year after completion. For UE, reported examples include $67,037 for mechanical engineering and $57,206 for registered nursing. They describe past cohorts, not a starting-salary offer or an earnings prediction for an individual graduate.
Other reported one-year medians include $38,140 for business administration and management, $30,166 for psychology, and $25,141 for drama and theater. Differences can reflect occupation, location, further study, and the composition and size of the measured groups. One-year figures also miss later career changes and may not capture students who continue directly into graduate study.
UE provides career counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, employer events, and alumni networking opportunities. Those services can support a job search, but their availability should not be confused with a verified placement rate or a guarantee of employment.
