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

In IPEDS 2024-25 reporting, University of Jamestown's four-year graduation rate was 37%, while its six-year rate was 49%. These measures track an entering cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree; they do not describe the completion rate of every transfer, part-time or graduate student.

The difference between the two rates shows why a student's planned time to degree matters when comparing costs. The reported first-year retention rate was 67%, meaning roughly two-thirds of the measured first-time students returned the following fall. Neither measure identifies why an individual student left, transferred or took longer to finish.

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

Reported College Scorecard program figures describe earnings measured about one year after completion, not a salary that a degree guarantees. Among the available University of Jamestown figures, registered nursing was approximately $59,961; business administration was approximately $40,658.

The figures are program-level measures for graduates represented in federal earnings data, rather than predictions for all graduates or offers made at graduation. They can be affected by occupation, location, further study and the number of graduates represented. A nursing figure and a business figure should therefore not be treated as a controlled comparison of the value of those degrees. Students evaluating employment prospects should consider placement support, licensing requirements and likely borrowing alongside earnings data.
