Walla Walla University

What are the graduation rates for students at Walla Walla University?

IPEDS graduation data report a 60% overall graduation rate for Walla Walla University. A separate measure shows 32% graduating within four years and 58% within six years; those figures should be read according to their respective cohort definitions rather than treated as interchangeable.

Federal graduation measures commonly track students who entered as first-time, full-time degree seekers. They do not describe every transfer student or adult learner, and they do not predict an individual's result. The reported first-year retention rate is 85%, indicating the share in the measured entering group who returned the following fall. Students comparing programs should also consider course sequencing and placement requirements, which an institution-wide rate cannot explain.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Walla Walla University?

College Scorecard program-level figures provide a limited view of earnings roughly one year after completion. Reported one-year median earnings for selected Walla Walla University fields are:

• Registered nursing: $70,754.
• Engineering, general: $52,324.
• Business/commerce, general: $33,758.
• Design and applied arts: $25,370.

These are observations for graduates represented in the Scorecard's matched, federally aided population - not starting-salary offers or predictions for everyone in a major. A field's figure can also reflect differences in occupation, location, further study and the number of graduates with usable records. Students should weigh earnings alongside likely borrowing, professional licensing requirements and their intended career path.

For career preparation, WWU reports access to individual and group career counseling, résumé and interview help, career-interest resources, job listings, employer events and alumni networking. Those services describe available support; they should not be interpreted as a verified placement rate.
