What are the graduation rates for students at University of Massachusetts Global?

IPEDS reports an overall graduation rate of 43% for UMass Global in its 2024-25 reporting data, alongside a student retention rate of 62%. These figures describe defined reporting populations; they are not the probability that any individual transfer or adult student will finish.

Federal graduation-rate measures commonly track first-time, full-time degree-seeking students over a specified period. That group can differ substantially from UMass Global's broader population of transfer and working-adult students, so the headline rate may not capture every route to completion. Retention measures whether students continue from one reporting period to the next, not whether they eventually earn a credential.

Applicants comparing programs should ask for completion information that matches their situation - for example, outcomes for transfers entering with a similar number of credits - and examine the remaining course sequence and expected time to degree.

What is the earning potential for graduates at University of Massachusetts Global?

College Scorecard program data report median earnings one year after completion for certain UMass Global fields. The measure concerns federally aided completers represented in the earnings records, not every alumnus, and a one-year figure is not a lifetime earnings forecast.

  • Business administration, management and operations: $54,565.
  • Criminology: $46,624.
  • Liberal arts and sciences, general studies and humanities: $44,893.
  • Sociology: $39,940.
  • Psychology, general: $31,692.
  • Teacher education for specific levels and methods: $30,800.

These figures are useful for comparing reported outcomes within a carefully defined measure, but they do not isolate the effect of the degree. Prior work experience, location, occupation, hours worked and further study can all matter. A program's earnings figure should be considered alongside its total cost, completion requirements and the qualifications needed for the jobs a student wants.
