What are the graduation rates for students at University of Michigan-Flint?

In IPEDS 2024-25 reporting, UM-Flint's four-year graduation rate was 21%, while its six-year rate was 40%. These measures track the applicable entering cohort of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students; they do not describe the eventual completion rate of every transfer or part-time student.

The gap between the two rates shows that some students completed after four years. It does not explain why others took longer or did not finish within the reporting window. The reported retention rate was 78%, a separate measure of whether students continued from one year to the next. Prospective students should consider these outcomes alongside their own program's course sequence, credit load and anticipated work commitments.

What is the earning potential for graduates at University of Michigan-Flint?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures provide a limited view of earnings one year after completion for graduates represented in its federal data. They are not starting-salary offers, earnings forecasts for all alumni or a guarantee of employment.

In the October 2026 field-of-study data, the reported one-year median was $67,834 for mechanical engineering and $66,329 for registered nursing. The corresponding figure for computer science was $62,918, while business administration was $44,426. Differences between fields may reflect occupation, further study, local labor markets and the graduates included in each measured group; the figures alone cannot isolate the value added by a degree.

One year is also an early point in a career. Students comparing majors should weigh these earnings measures against program costs, licensing requirements, likely graduate study and the kind of work they want to pursue.
