What are the graduation rates for students at University of Washington-Seattle Campus?
UW Seattle reports an 85% six-year graduation rate and a 74% four-year graduation rate in its 2024-25 completion figures. Its reported first-year retention rate is 95%, meaning most students in the measured entering group returned the following year.
The graduation measures track a defined cohort of first-time, full-time students pursuing a bachelor's degree; they do not describe the outcomes of every transfer, part-time, or graduate student. The four-year figure rose from 66% in the 2019 figures to 74% in the latest figures shown. A longer graduation timeline can affect housing, living expenses, and when a student begins full-time work, even if the student ultimately completes the degree. Individual timelines also depend on factors such as transferred credits, course sequencing, and major requirements.
What is the earning potential for graduates at University of Washington-Seattle Campus?
Federal College Scorecard program figures report median earnings for certain federally aided former students about one year after completion. They are measures of observed earnings for a specified reporting group, not starting-salary offers or predictions for every graduate.
In the figures available as of October 2026, reported one-year medians include $101,710 for computer science, $75,688 for registered nursing, and $43,109 for architecture. Credential level matters: an earnings figure for a field should not be assumed to describe bachelor's recipients if its underlying program record includes a different credential. Students should compare the exact program and degree level and remember that earnings data exclude some former students. Geography, further study, occupation, hours worked, and who is included in the federal-aid population can all affect the result.
