University of Hawaii at Manoa

What are the graduation rates for students at University of Hawaii at Manoa?

UH Mānoa's reported six-year graduation rate is 64% for the measured cohort of first-time, full-time students pursuing a bachelor's degree. Its four-year rate is 44%. The difference matters to students budgeting for four years: a six-year completion statistic does not mean most students finish within the original four-year plan.

The reported first-year retention rate is 81%, meaning most students in the measured first-time cohort returned for the following fall. Retention and graduation rates measure different things, and neither describes every student. Transfer entrants, part-time students, and students who complete a degree elsewhere may have experiences that these first-time, full-time cohort figures do not capture.

For an individual major, course sequencing, required placements, and the availability of prerequisite classes may be more useful planning details than the campus-wide rate alone.

What is the earning potential for graduates at University of Hawaii at Manoa?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings measured about one year after completion for graduates in covered programs with qualifying earnings records. They are not starting-salary offers to every graduate, and they should not be read as a promise of future income.

Reported one-year median earnings vary substantially by field. Examples include approximately $73,721 for registered nursing, $64,964 for mechanical engineering, $50,820 for computer science, and $37,546 for business administration. The figures concern different groups of graduates; differences do not isolate the effect of a degree from factors such as occupation, prior experience, location, or further study.

Scorecard earnings are most useful when compared with programs of the same credential level and field, alongside graduation outcomes and the likely cost of attendance. A one-year figure also says little about later career growth or jobs whose entry routes commonly include graduate education.
