University of Saint Joseph

What are the graduation rates for students at University of Saint Joseph?

USJ's reported six-year graduation rate is 64% for the applicable first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort; its four-year rate is 50%. These measures follow an entering cohort over different periods, rather than describing the share of all current students who will graduate.

The reported first-year retention rate is 82%, measuring the share of eligible first-time students who returned the following fall. Graduation and retention figures can help applicants assess broad patterns, but they do not predict an individual outcome. They also should not be applied without qualification to transfer students, part-time students, or students entering graduate programs, whose pathways differ from those of the measured first-time cohort.

What is the earning potential for graduates at University of Saint Joseph?

The reported College Scorecard figure for USJ's registered nursing field is $73,150 in median earnings one year after completion. It is a field-of-study measure, not a starting-salary offer or an earnings estimate for every USJ graduate.

College Scorecard field-level earnings generally reflect federally aided completers with earnings captured in the relevant measurement period. They can be affected by who is included, the jobs graduates take, hours worked, further study, and local labor markets. Applicants comparing programs should therefore use the nursing figure alongside program costs, licensing requirements, and employment information rather than treating it as a forecast of their own income.
