What are the graduation rates for students at University of West Alabama?

University of West Alabama completion figures call for careful reading. Reported outcomes include a 14% four-year graduation rate and a 28% six-year graduation rate. These measures follow defined entering groups of students; they do not describe every undergraduate, transfer student, or graduate student.

A separately reported overall graduation figure is 35%. Because graduation measures can use different cohorts and time limits, it should not be treated as interchangeable with the four- or six-year figures. The reported first-year retention rate is 65%, meaning roughly two-thirds of the relevant first-time cohort returned the following fall.

For a prospective student, these figures make course sequencing and time-to-degree planning worth examining. Ask a department how often required classes run and, if transferring, which credits will satisfy the intended degree. The published rates alone do not establish why individual students did or did not finish.

What is the earning potential for graduates at University of West Alabama?

The reported College Scorecard figure for UWA's multi- or interdisciplinary studies field is $26,983 in median earnings about one year after completion. It is a field-specific, early-career measure for the students included in the federal data - not a university-wide salary, an estimate for every major, or a promise about an individual graduate's income.

Earnings depend on occupation, location, further education, work hours, and the time elapsed since graduation. A one-year figure may be especially limited for graduates who enter additional training or careers with substantial later progression. Prospective students comparing programs should consider earnings alongside borrowing, completion rates, licensing requirements, and the kinds of jobs they hope to pursue.

UWA reports career support that includes individual and group counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job-search resources, employer recruitment, and job fairs. Access to those services is not itself evidence of a particular employment outcome.
