What are the graduation rates for students at University of Nebraska Medical Center?

A single conventional four-year or six-year graduation rate would not describe UNMC particularly well. The university enrolls students across undergraduate completion pathways, graduate degrees, and professional programs with different starting points and expected lengths.

Federal first-time, full-time undergraduate graduation measures are designed around students entering an institution as beginning undergraduates. UNMC's reported first-time degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduate intake was zero in the cited 2024-25 enrollment data, while it enrolled transfer-in undergraduates. Applicants comparing outcomes should instead seek completion and, where relevant, licensure-exam results for the specific degree they intend to enter. Those measures answer different questions and should not be combined into a university-wide success rate.

What is the earning potential for graduates at University of Nebraska Medical Center?

College Scorecard field-of-study data report median earnings one year after completion of about $62,469 for the reported registered nursing field and $57,949 for dental support services and allied professions. These are field-level outcomes for graduates with federally aided records that can be matched to earnings information, not starting-salary offers to every UNMC graduate.

The figures are useful for comparing reported outcomes across fields, but they do not isolate the effect of attending UNMC. Earnings can differ by credential, occupation, work hours, location, and further schooling; professional degrees and clinical specialties may also follow different timelines. Prospective students should compare the figure associated with their intended credential and weigh it alongside borrowing, program costs, and licensure requirements.
