UMB's standard first-time undergraduate four-year and six-year graduation rates are not useful measures of most of its students' paths. Its 2024-25 data record no first-time degree-seeking undergraduate entrants, while many students enroll as transfers or enter graduate and professional programs.
For a meaningful completion comparison, applicants should look for outcomes from the specific program they are considering: completion within the program's expected timeframe, professional examination results where relevant, and any required clinical or field-placement progression. Those measures answer different questions and should not be treated as interchangeable with a university-wide freshman graduation rate.
College Scorecard field-of-study figures reported for October 2026 show earnings measured about one year after completion for selected UMB fields. The reported amounts are $66,676 for registered nursing and related nursing programs, $65,957 for dental support services and allied professions, and $61,670 for clinical or medical laboratory science and related professions.
These are field-level reported earnings figures, not a salary offer to every graduate or a forecast for an individual applicant. They should not be interpreted as earnings for all UMB alumni or for every credential within a broad field label. Employment setting, location, prior experience, additional training, and the population included in the federal measure can all affect the comparison. Applicants weighing programs should consider likely borrowing and licensing requirements alongside earnings.
