University of North Carolina at Greensboro

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

UNCG's reported six-year graduation rate is 56% for the measured first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort. Its four-year rate is 39%. These figures follow defined entering groups over time; they are not the percentage of all current students, transfer students, or graduate students who will earn a degree.

The difference between the four- and six-year figures shows why time to completion matters financially. Additional semesters can bring further living costs and, depending on enrollment, tuition and fees. UNCG's reported first-year retention rate is 79%, a separate measure of whether students return after their initial year. None of these measures, by itself, explains why an individual student leaves, stays, or graduates.

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

Reported field-of-study earnings for UNCG vary substantially by major. College Scorecard figures measured about one year after completion show, for example, median earnings of approximately $60,600 for reported nursing completers and $59,800 for computer science completers. The corresponding reported figure for business administration is about $36,900.

These are observations about graduates with reportable earnings in the relevant federally aided cohorts, not starting-salary offers or predictions for every student. A one-year measure can be especially incomplete for fields in which graduates pursue further education, licensure, freelance work, or careers with uneven early income. Students comparing majors should consider the degree level and cohort behind a figure, likely additional training, local job markets, and the cost of earning the credential.
