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

Reported completion rates show that graduating on a conventional full-time timetable is not a given at University of the People. IPEDS data for 2024-25 lists a four-year graduation rate of 17% and a six-year graduation rate of 29%. An overall reported graduation figure is 34%; it should not be treated as interchangeable with either time-specific rate because the measures can represent different cohorts or calculations.

Graduation rates follow defined groups of entering students over specified periods. They do not describe every current student, and they may be less representative of people who transfer in, pause their studies, or enroll at a different pace. The figures establish an outcome to consider, but they do not by themselves explain why individual students did or did not finish.

Applicants should compare the time limits and student groups behind any graduation figures they use, then consider how their own available study time and transfer credits would affect a realistic completion plan.

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

A reliable program-level graduate earnings figure is not available here for University of the People. As a result, there is no defensible school-specific salary amount to present as a typical outcome one year after graduation.

When comparing earnings data from colleges, students should check whether a figure is a median or an average, when earnings were measured, which graduates were included, and whether the data cover only people with particular employment or federal-aid records. A salary figure cannot establish what an individual will earn; occupation, location, prior experience, further education, and local labor markets all matter.

The university's career resources should also be evaluated separately from earnings outcomes. Help with a résumé or job search is a service, not evidence of a particular placement rate or salary.
