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

UW-Superior's reported six-year graduation rate is 42% for the measured cohort of first-time, full-time students. Its four-year rate is 29%. These rates track a defined entering group; they are not the percentage of every student, including transfers and part-time students, who eventually completes a degree.

The reported first-year retention rate is 72%, measuring the share of the relevant entering students who returned the following fall. Retention and graduation answer different questions, and neither identifies why an individual student stayed, transferred or left. Transfer applicants and adult learners should ask for outcomes that better match their circumstances rather than assuming the first-time, full-time cohort predicts their own path.

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

Federal College Scorecard figures provide a limited view of earnings after completion, not a salary forecast for every UW-Superior graduate. The field-level figures reported here measure earnings one year after graduation for the federally aided graduates represented in the Scorecard's outcome data; they should not be read as starting salaries offered to all students in a major.

Among the reported fields, the one-year figure is $41,320 for criminal justice and corrections, $40,438 for accounting and related services, and $35,592 for teacher education focused on specific levels and methods. The figures differ across fields and may reflect where graduates work, their hours and experience, further study, and the composition of the measured group.

Small programs may have no publishable field-level figure because of reporting or privacy rules. Earnings also omit considerations such as debt, licensing steps and career progression after the first year. Students comparing majors can use the numbers as one reference point alongside program costs, internship access and the qualifications required for their intended occupation.
