What are the graduation rates for students at University of New England?

UNE reports a 70% six-year graduation rate and a 57% four-year graduation rate for the measured first-time, full-time undergraduate cohorts. These figures follow students who entered in particular years; they do not describe the completion rate of every transfer, part-time, graduate, or professional student.

The difference between the four- and six-year measures shows why the time period matters when comparing colleges. UNE also reports first-year student retention of 79%, a separate measure of how many students continue into the next academic year. None of these rates predicts whether an individual student will finish on schedule. Applicants to a specific major may find its course sequence and placement requirements more informative for planning their own timeline.

What is the earning potential for graduates at University of New England?

College Scorecard program figures offer a limited view of earnings about one year after completion for the graduates represented in each reported field. They are not starting-salary offers, and they should not be treated as the expected income of every student in a major.

For example, the reported one-year figure is $62,714 for registered nursing and related nursing study, compared with $52,443 for dental support services. Reported figures for biology and psychology are $29,691 and $26,362, respectively. Those comparisons require care: fields can include different credentials and career paths, and graduates may be working, pursuing further education, or entering occupations with different pay patterns.

Scorecard earnings measures cover qualifying graduates for whom the federal data can produce a reportable figure; they are not a survey of all alumni. Students comparing programs should consider credential level, debt, licensure requirements, local wages, and longer-term career development alongside a one-year earnings number.
