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

Reported University of Hartford completion figures include a 44% four-year graduation rate and a 57% six-year graduation rate. The additional time matters: a student who finishes after four years may still count in the six-year measure.

These federal graduation-rate measures generally follow defined cohorts of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students, rather than every undergraduate who attends. Transfers and part-time students can have different paths that these figures do not fully represent. A separate reported overall graduation figure is 54%; figures with different definitions or cohorts should not be treated as interchangeable.

The reported first-year retention rate is 83%, indicating the share of the relevant entering group that returned for a second year. Neither retention nor graduation rates identify why an individual student stayed, left, transferred, or took longer to finish. Applicants should examine the course sequence and expected time to degree for the major they actually intend to pursue.

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

College Scorecard program figures report earnings measured about one year after completion for graduates in particular fields who meet the federal data's reporting criteria. They are not starting-salary offers for every graduate, and they do not establish what an individual Hartford student will earn.

Reported one-year figures illustrate substantial differences by field: registered nursing is $78,975, mechanical engineering $69,655, accounting $49,146, and communication and media studies $31,472. These are program-level earnings measures for the covered graduate groups, not university-wide averages. A figure for a broad field may also combine graduates whose jobs or further-study plans differ.

Early-career earnings are affected by occupation, location, prior experience, further education, and which graduates appear in the underlying federal records. They are most useful alongside program cost, borrowing, completion prospects, and the kind of work a degree prepares students to pursue. A one-year measure is particularly limited for fields in which graduate training or a longer period of professional development is common.
