University of Minnesota-Crookston

What are the graduation rates for students at University of Minnesota-Crookston?

IPEDS reports a 50% six-year graduation rate for University of Minnesota Crookston and a 38% four-year rate. These measures track defined cohorts of first-time, full-time, degree-seeking students; they do not describe the eventual outcome of every transfer, part-time or online student.

The reported first-year retention rate is 80%, meaning roughly four in five students in the measured full-time cohort returned the following fall. Retention and graduation answer different questions: returning for a second year is not the same as completing a degree, and a student can finish after the reporting window. Transfers into and out of a college also complicate simple comparisons. Applicants should consider these figures alongside the course sequence, advising arrangements and expected time to completion in their own major.

What is the earning potential for graduates at University of Minnesota-Crookston?

College Scorecard program-level figures report earnings measured one year after completion for some University of Minnesota Crookston fields of study. They describe observed outcomes for qualifying former students in a reporting cohort - not a starting salary offer or a prediction for an individual graduate.

Examples in the October 2026 Scorecard data include $58,238 for business administration, management and operations; $53,619 for health and medical administrative services; and $41,763 for agricultural business and management. The reported figure for animal sciences is $39,654. Differences among fields may reflect occupation, location, prior experience, additional education and the characteristics of the measured group, not just the value of a particular major.

One-year figures leave out longer-term career development and do not show what graduates spent on their education. Program comparisons are most useful when students also examine the curriculum, likely career paths, internship options, debt and the size and definition of each reported earnings cohort.
