What are the graduation rates for students at Utah Tech University?

Reported completion measures show that 16% of the relevant Utah Tech bachelor's cohort graduated within four years and 28% within six years. A separate overall graduation measure is 38%; these figures represent different reporting populations or completion definitions and should not be added together.

Federal graduation-rate measures typically follow first-time, full-time students who begin in a specified cohort. They do not fully describe the eventual outcomes of transfer students, part-time students, or students who finish elsewhere. The reported first-year retention rate is 68%, measuring continuation rather than graduation. For a personal time-to-degree estimate, a student should examine the required course sequence, prerequisite availability, and credits already completed.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Utah Tech University?

College Scorecard program-level figures report earnings measured one year after completion for eligible former students in fields where a figure can be published. They describe observed outcomes for a defined population, not a salary offer or an estimate for every graduate.

For example, the reported one-year figure is $59,208 for registered nursing and $45,248 for computer and information sciences, general. Reported figures are $36,439 for business administration and $24,416 for psychology. Differences can reflect occupations, further study, hours worked, location, and the mix of credentials within a field; they should not be interpreted as the value added by a major alone.

Students comparing programs should also look at sample definitions and any available longer-term earnings or debt figures. A first-year earnings measure can be particularly incomplete for fields in which graduates commonly enter graduate school or need additional training.
