University of Washington-Tacoma Campus

What are the graduation rates for students at University of Washington-Tacoma Campus?

UW Tacoma's reported six-year graduation rate is 63%, while its four-year rate is 50%. These figures track completion within specified periods for a defined entering cohort of first-time, full-time students; they are not the share of every person who has ever enrolled at the campus.

The six-year figure was 62% in the preceding reported year. The reported first-year retention rate is 80%, measuring a different outcome: whether students continued into the next academic year, not whether they eventually graduated. Transfer students, part-time students, and graduate students may follow different timelines and are not fully described by the first-time cohort rates. A prospective transfer student should therefore pay particular attention to how many accepted credits will actually apply to the chosen degree.

What is the earning potential for graduates at University of Washington-Tacoma Campus?

College Scorecard field-of-study earnings figures offer a limited look at pay one year after completion for former students in reported programs. They describe observed groups, not a salary a new student can expect, and should not be read as a direct ranking of UW Tacoma majors.

For example, the reported one-year figure is $67,196 for computer and information sciences and $52,825 for accounting. The reported figure for registered nursing is $75,688, while that for psychology is $30,890. These are field-specific measures drawn from students with available earnings records; credential level, prior experience, employment status, local labor markets, and further study can affect comparisons. A one-year observation also says little about long-term earnings or whether a student entered the occupation associated with a major.
