University of North Alabama

What are the graduation rates for students at University of North Alabama?

UNA's reported six-year graduation rate is 55% for the measured entering cohort, while 35% completed within four years. These are cohort-based measures, principally useful for understanding the experience of first-time, full-time students pursuing bachelor's degrees - not a prediction for every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.

The difference between the four- and six-year rates shows why a four-year completion figure alone gives an incomplete picture. UNA's reported six-year rate rose from 49% in 2019 to 55% in the latest figures supplied here. Its reported student retention rate is 80%, a separate measure of continued enrollment rather than degree completion.

For an individual student, the practical question is whether required courses, prerequisites, and any clinical or field placements fit the intended schedule. A transfer student should also examine the official credit evaluation: these first-time-student graduation rates do not describe how long that student will take to finish.

What is the earning potential for graduates at University of North Alabama?

Federal College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings for qualifying former students about one year after completing a program. They are not starting-salary offers or a promise of what a particular UNA graduate will make.

Examples of reported one-year median earnings include $52,373 for management information systems, $51,845 for registered nursing, and $41,641 for accounting. Other reported fields include biology at $31,781 and fine and studio arts at $17,406. Comparisons need care: occupations differ in work patterns, licensing, local labor markets, and the likelihood of immediate graduate study.

Scorecard program figures describe federally aided completers included in its earnings measurement, rather than every graduate of a major. They also measure an early career point; they do not capture later advancement, job satisfaction, or the cost of obtaining additional credentials. Prospective students can use them alongside program costs, career-placement resources, and the qualifications required for jobs they want.
