Villa Maria College

What are the graduation rates for students at Villa Maria College?

Villa Maria College's reported overall graduation rate is 31%. The reported four-year rate is 23%, while the six-year rate is 29%. These are cohort measures: they track defined groups of students over specified periods, rather than predicting whether any one student will graduate.

The reported student retention rate is 76%. Retention measures continued enrollment, not eventual completion. Prospective students comparing outcomes should ask how frequently courses in their intended major are offered and whether a required sequence or internship could affect their expected graduation date. The published rates alone do not establish why students did or did not complete their degrees.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Villa Maria College?

College Scorecard program data reports earnings of $33,578 for Villa Maria's design and applied arts field one year after completion. This is a program-level measure for the students captured by the Scorecard's methodology, not a starting-salary offer or a prediction for every design graduate.

One-year earnings reflect an early career stage and can vary with occupation, location, further education, and whether a former student works full time. They should be read alongside program costs, borrowing, completion outcomes, and the kinds of work students hope to pursue.

Villa Maria reports career support that includes individual counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job-search resources, and employer connections. Those services can help students plan and apply for opportunities, but their availability is not itself evidence of a particular employment outcome. Students should ask their program how internship placements are arranged and what assistance is available in their intended field.
