Reported graduation data show a four-year completion rate of 31% and a six-year rate of 44% for the measured first-time student cohorts. The six-year figure gives students a broader window to finish a bachelor's degree; it should not be read as the graduation rate for every student who enrolls.
The reported first-year retention rate is 66%, meaning roughly two-thirds of the students counted in that measure returned the following year. Graduation and retention measures use defined cohorts and do not fully describe transfer students' outcomes. An applicant comparing colleges should also consider their intended major's course sequence, transferred credits and likely enrollment load when planning a realistic completion timeline.
College Scorecard program figures offer limited snapshots of earnings after completion, not salary promises. Its reported median annual earnings one year after completion include approximately $34,104 for teacher education focused on specific levels and methods, $29,777 for general business or commerce, and $22,657 for fine and studio arts.
These are program-specific measures for the graduates represented in the federal data, not projected starting salaries for every student. They do not account fully for differences in occupation, location, hours worked, further study or career progression. Students should use them alongside program costs and information about the work they hope to pursue, rather than ranking majors by a single early-career number.
