What are the graduation rates for students at University of Mount Olive?

The University of Mount Olive's reported four-year graduation rate is 34%, and its six-year rate is 48%. These measures follow defined groups of first-time, full-time students; they should not be read as the completion rate for every transfer, part-time, or returning adult student.

A separately reported overall graduation measure is 52%, while first-year student retention is 72%. Because completion measures can use different cohorts or definitions, the overall figure should not be substituted for the six-year rate. The gap between four-year and six-year completion also shows why a prospective student should consider time to degree when estimating cost: additional terms can add tuition and living expenses. An individual's timeline will depend on such factors as course availability, transferred credit, enrollment intensity, and program requirements.

What is the earning potential for graduates at University of Mount Olive?

Federal College Scorecard program figures offer a limited view of earnings approximately one year after completion for graduates included in that measure. They are observations about groups of former students, not starting-salary offers or predictions for a new enrollee.

For example, the reported one-year figure is $68,741 for the registered nursing program category and $53,757 for management information systems. Business administration is reported at $42,574, and education, general, at $40,674. These are different fields with different employment paths; comparing the figures without considering occupation, location, further study, and program-specific sample sizes would be misleading.

College Scorecard earnings measures do not represent every graduate or every type of income. They also do not subtract the cost of attendance or loan payments. Students comparing programs should use the figures alongside licensure requirements, likely job roles, the amount they may need to borrow, and employment information relevant to their intended career.
