What are the graduation rates for students at University of Holy Cross?

University of Holy Cross's reported graduation figures suggest that completing a degree within four years is less common than completing one over a longer period. In the 2024-25 institutional figures, the four-year graduation rate is 9%, while the six-year rate is 40%.

Graduation rates generally track a defined group of first-time, full-time students from entry through a specified number of years. They do not describe the experience of every transfer student, part-time student or graduate student. A separately reported overall graduation measure is 49%; it should not be treated as interchangeable with the four- or six-year measure without checking its cohort definition. The reported student retention rate is 71%, a different indicator that concerns continued enrollment rather than degree completion.

Applicants comparing costs should consider time to degree alongside annual tuition. For a specific major, an academic adviser can explain the recommended course sequence, how often required courses are offered and whether internships or clinical placements affect scheduling.

What is the earning potential for graduates at University of Holy Cross?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings about one year after completion for some University of Holy Cross programs. The reported figure is $61,646 for registered nursing and related nursing studies, and $43,272 for allied health diagnostic, intervention and treatment professions.

These are program-level observations, not starting-salary offers or earnings guaranteed to every graduate. Scorecard earnings measures depend on the graduates included in the underlying records and may not capture every person or every form of income. The figures also reflect different occupations and potential credential paths, so they should not be read as a controlled comparison of teaching quality. Students assessing a program's financial value should consider its full cost, likely borrowing, licensing requirements and the jobs associated with the exact credential they plan to earn.
