What are the graduation rates for students at University of Illinois Springfield?

UIS reports a 42% four-year graduation rate and a 52% six-year graduation rate in the supplied 2024-25 IPEDS reporting. Its reported overall graduation rate is 53%. These measures should not be treated as interchangeable: they can use different cohorts or reporting definitions.

Federal four- and six-year graduation measures generally track entering, first-time, full-time bachelor's students. They do not fully describe outcomes for the transfer students and part-time or returning adults who also attend UIS. The reported first-year retention rate is 75%, meaning that roughly three-quarters of the measured entering group continued to the following year under that measure. Prospective students comparing outcomes should consider the cohort behind each figure, especially if they expect to transfer in.

What is the earning potential for graduates at University of Illinois Springfield?

College Scorecard program figures show substantial variation in reported earnings about one year after completion. Examples in the October 2026 data include a median of $64,516 for computer science, $46,603 for accounting and related services, and $31,182 for social work. These are program-level observations, not promised starting salaries or forecasts for current applicants.

Scorecard earnings measures generally concern federally aided completers with earnings that can be matched to administrative records; they do not represent every person who studied a subject. Credential level, the number of people in a reported group, later study, occupation, location, and hours worked can all affect interpretation. The figures are most useful as one comparison alongside program costs, completion patterns, and the careers a degree can lead to - not as a measure of the value of an individual student's education.
