Wagner College

What are the graduation rates for students at Wagner College?

Wagner's reported graduation rate is 65% for the measured entering cohort. The four-year rate is 59%, while the six-year rate is 65%. These figures describe how a defined group of first-time, full-time students progressed over different measurement periods; they are not the odds of graduation for every individual applicant or transfer student.

The reported first-year retention rate is 83%, meaning that most students in the measured first-time cohort returned the following year. Retention and graduation answer different questions: returning for year two does not establish whether a student will finish a degree. Transfers, part-time students and students entering different programs may have experiences that the standard first-time, full-time graduation measure does not capture well.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Wagner College?

College Scorecard program figures provide a limited view of earnings about one year after graduation for graduates included in the federal measure. They are not starting-salary offers or promises about what a new Wagner graduate will earn.

• Registered nursing: reported median earnings of $98,065.
• Business administration and management: reported median earnings of $44,979.
• Arts, entertainment and media management: reported median earnings of $37,356.
• Psychology: reported median earnings of $26,760.
• Drama and theater arts: reported median earnings of $18,457.

These are program-level medians for graduates covered by the reporting method, not averages for everyone who studied the subject. They do not account for differences in work hours, location, further study or career stage. A one-year figure can be especially incomplete for fields in which graduates commonly pursue additional qualifications or work on a project basis. It is most useful alongside program costs, licensing requirements and longer-term career plans.
