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

The reported six-year graduation rate is 63% for the relevant cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree. The four-year rate is 56%. These measures track completion within set periods; they do not describe every undergraduate who attends the university.

The reported first-year retention rate is 76%, meaning roughly three-quarters of the measured entering cohort returned the following fall. Transfer students, part-time students, and students who finish elsewhere are not represented in the same way by the standard first-time graduation-rate measure. The figures provide a useful planning benchmark, but they do not establish why any individual student did or did not complete a degree on time.

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

Federal College Scorecard program data show substantial variation in reported earnings one year after completion. Examples include median earnings of $68,229 for electrical, electronics, and communications engineering and $66,737 for mechanical engineering. Reported figures for accounting and related services were $51,552, while the figure for criminal justice and corrections was $34,272.

These are program-level outcomes for the federal-aid recipients included in the applicable Scorecard measure, not salaries promised to all graduates. Results can reflect the credential, cohort, number of people measured, local job markets, further study, and whether graduates work full time. A one-year figure is particularly limited for careers that commonly require graduate education or licensing. Students should compare the exact credential and reporting period, alongside likely borrowing and career requirements, rather than treating one program's figure as a university-wide earning estimate.
