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

The University of Providence's reported overall graduation rate for 2024-25 is 28%. Its separately reported four-year and six-year bachelor's graduation rates are each 21%. These measures can refer to different entering cohorts or reporting definitions, so the figures should not be read as a single group's year-by-year progress.

Federal graduation measures generally focus on specified groups of first-time, full-time students. They do not describe every transfer student, part-time student or adult learner. The reported first-year retention rate is 72%, meaning roughly seven in ten students in the measured cohort returned for the next fall. Applicants comparing outcomes should consider their own enrollment pathway and ask for completion information specific to their intended program when available.

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

Federal College Scorecard field-of-study figures report median earnings measured one year after completion for the relevant group of federally aided former students. For University of Providence programs with a published figure, the reported amounts are $99,225 for registered nursing, $33,358 for business administration and $19,342 for biology.

These are past group-level outcomes, not salary forecasts. They may reflect different degree levels, occupations and student populations, and one year is a short window in which to judge a career. A student weighing a program should consider expected borrowing, licensing requirements and career progression alongside the reported earnings. Practical career questions include who helps students find internships or clinical placements and what assistance is available with résumés, interviews and job searches.
