University of Wisconsin-River Falls

What are the graduation rates for students at University of Wisconsin-River Falls?

UWRF's reported six-year graduation rate is 57% for the measured cohort of first-time, full-time students pursuing bachelor's degrees. Its four-year rate is 42%. These measures follow an entering group over different periods; they are not forecasts for every student who enrolls.

The reported first-year retention rate is 76%, meaning roughly three-quarters of the students in that measure returned for the following fall. Retention and graduation answer different questions. The federal graduation-rate cohort also does not describe every transfer student, part-time student, or adult learner, whose routes to completion may differ.

What is the earning potential for graduates at University of Wisconsin-River Falls?

Field-of-study earnings figures for UWRF can help applicants compare possible early-career outcomes, but they are not starting-salary offers. The College Scorecard figures reported for one year after completion include median earnings of $54,144 for agricultural engineering, $53,223 for accounting, and $38,716 for teacher education focused on specific levels and methods.

These are medians for the federal-aid-recipient completers represented in each reported field, not earnings for every graduate. Outcomes differ by occupation, location, further study, work hours, and the size and composition of the measured group. A useful comparison pairs the earnings figure with a program's cost, likely borrowing, and the qualifications needed for the jobs a student actually wants.

UWRF's career support includes counseling and career exploration, résumé and interview help, employer connections, job fairs, and opportunities to use alumni contacts. Those services can support a job search; they should not be confused with a verified employment result for an individual student.
