Upstate Medical University

What are the graduation rates for students at Upstate Medical University?

A single campus-wide graduation rate would be a poor guide to completion at Upstate. The university enrolls students in undergraduate, graduate and professional programs that begin at different points in a student's education and follow different timelines.

Conventional four- and six-year undergraduate graduation measures generally track a defined cohort of first-time, full-time bachelor's students. Upstate reported no first-time degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduate entrants in the cited 2024-25 enrollment figures, while reporting 75 transfer entrants. That enrollment pattern makes a conventional freshman-cohort rate especially limited for evaluating its undergraduate programs. Applicants should instead request recent completion, time-to-degree and, where relevant, licensing-exam results for the particular program and entering cohort they would join.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Upstate Medical University?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures provide a limited look at earnings roughly one year after completing certain Upstate programs. Reported figures include $68,185 for registered nursing, $64,336 for allied health diagnostic, intervention and treatment professions, and $55,668 for clinical or medical laboratory science and related professions.

These are program-field measures, not guaranteed starting salaries or an estimate of what every graduate earns. College Scorecard earnings measures generally reflect the covered group of federally aided completers with matched earnings records; they do not describe every graduate or isolate the effect of the degree from prior experience, location and occupation. A nursing figure, for example, may include people with different levels of prior clinical experience. Applicants can use the numbers as one comparison point alongside program costs, licensure outcomes and the jobs graduates actually pursue.
