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

UNF reports a four-year graduation rate of 51% and a six-year rate of 65% for the relevant first-time student cohorts. These measures ask whether students completed a degree within a set number of years; they do not describe every student who graduates from UNF.

The reported overall graduation figure is 69%, while first-year retention is 85%. Retention measures whether students continue into the following year, not whether they eventually earn a degree. The four-year and six-year measures should not be treated as interchangeable with the overall figure, because published completion statistics can use different cohorts and definitions.

These figures are most useful as context for planning. A transfer student, part-time student, or student who changes majors may follow a different timetable. Applicants should examine the course sequence for their intended major and ask which required classes are offered each term.

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

Federal College Scorecard program-level figures offer a limited view of earnings approximately one year after completion. They describe measured outcomes for eligible former students in particular fields, not a salary promised to someone who enrolls in that major.

For illustration, the reported one-year figure for registered nursing was $59,266. The comparable figure for computer and information sciences, general, was $54,256; for communication and media studies, it was $32,712. These figures should be read within their program categories. They do not establish that every graduate entered the same occupation, worked full time, or remained in Florida.

One-year earnings can be particularly incomplete for fields where graduates commonly pursue further education, licensure, or entry-level work before advancing. Federal earnings data also cover a defined group of students rather than every graduate. Students comparing majors should consider career paths, placement requirements, further-study costs, and longer-term outcomes alongside an early earnings measure.
