Reported outcomes show a 77% four-year graduation rate and an 80% six-year graduation rate for the University of Scranton. These rates track a defined entering cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking bachelor's degrees; they are not completion rates for every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.
The three-point difference between the four- and six-year figures suggests that some students in the measured cohort finished after the fourth year. The reported first-year retention rate is 85%, meaning that proportion continued into the following year under the measure's definition. These figures help applicants assess typical timelines, but they do not explain why individual students stayed, left, or graduated later.
Program-level College Scorecard figures report median earnings measured about one year after completion for certain University of Scranton fields. They describe measured former students in a program, not a salary that any new student can expect.
For example, the reported one-year figure is $75,695 for registered nursing and $55,398 for accounting. The corresponding figures are $48,435 for business administration and $20,345 for biology. Early earnings can differ sharply across fields because graduates enter different jobs, continue into professional or graduate school, or spend different amounts of time working.
These measures should be read alongside program cost, debt, further-study plans, and the number of graduates represented. They are not a comparison of otherwise identical students, and a one-year result says little by itself about longer-term pay. Scranton's career services offer individual and group counseling, résumé and interview support, job-search resources, career fairs, and employer recruitment; access to those services is distinct from a verified employment outcome.
