What are the graduation rates for students at University of Portland?

The University of Portland's reported six-year graduation rate is 80% for the measured cohort of first-time, full-time degree-seeking undergraduates. Its four-year rate is 69%. These figures describe earlier entering cohorts followed over time, not the eventual outcome of every student currently enrolled.

The reported first-year retention rate is 88%, meaning most students in the measured cohort returned for the following academic year. These measures are useful for comparing timelines, but they do not describe transfer students' completion rates or explain why an individual student left or stayed. A prospective student should consider the likely time to degree in the intended major, particularly if required courses or placements must be taken in sequence.

What is the earning potential for graduates at University of Portland?

Federal College Scorecard figures report earnings for certain University of Portland fields of study about one year after completion. They are field-specific measures, not a promised starting salary or an earnings figure for every graduate.

Reported one-year figures include $82,660 for registered nursing, $68,456 for computer science, and $63,261 for civil engineering. Other examples are $58,067 for accounting and $33,345 for teacher education at specific levels and methods. Differences reflect, among other things, occupation, further study, location, and whether graduates are working full time. The figures should not be interpreted as a causal measure of what the university adds to a student's earnings.

College Scorecard program earnings generally concern graduates represented in federal aid records who have measurable earnings. Small programs and privacy rules can limit what is published. One-year outcomes also give only an early view of careers, particularly in fields where graduate education or professional licensing is common.
