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

The University of Guam's reported six-year graduation rate is 37% for the applicable first-time, full-time student cohort. Its four-year rate is 12%. These measures ask whether students in a defined entering cohort completed a credential within a set period; they do not describe every student who attends the university.

The reported student retention rate is 77%, a different measure that concerns continued enrollment rather than degree completion. Transfer students, part-time students, and students returning after a break may have paths that are not captured by the standard first-time, full-time graduation comparison. A prospective student should use these figures to plan questions about course availability, advising, and time to degree, not as a prediction of their own result.

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

A degree's financial return depends on the field, occupation, location, and time since completion. A one-year post-graduation earnings measure, when used to compare programs, captures only an early point in a career; it should not be treated as a starting-salary offer or a promise about every graduate.

For University of Guam students, local labor-market conditions matter alongside national salary comparisons. Someone considering teaching, nursing, public service, or another regulated occupation should also account for licensing steps and possible additional study. Comparing likely job requirements and pay with the full cost of attendance is more informative than relying on a university-wide earnings claim.
