What are the graduation rates for students at University of Rio Grande?

Rio Grande's reported six-year graduation rate is 36% for the measured cohort of first-time, full-time students pursuing a bachelor's degree. Its four-year rate is 25%. These are cohort measures, not the probability that any particular student will graduate.

The reported first-year retention rate is 56%, meaning a little over half of the measured first-time students returned the following fall under that measure. Graduation-rate calculations do not describe every transfer student, part-time student, or student who completes elsewhere. Applicants can use these figures to frame specific questions about course availability, advising, and the time students in their intended major typically take to finish, without assuming the statistics explain why students left or stayed.

What is the earning potential for graduates at University of Rio Grande?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings one year after completion for graduates captured in the applicable records. Among the reported Rio Grande fields, the figure for registered nursing is $72,838; teacher education for specific levels and methods is $30,709; and business administration, management, and operations is $25,872.

These are field-level outcomes, not starting-salary offers or predictions for an individual graduate. They can reflect differences in occupation, degree level, work hours, geography, and which completers appear in the underlying records. A one-year measure also says little about later earnings or the debt a student may incur to finish a program.
