Wayne State College

What are the graduation rates for students at Wayne State College?

Wayne State College's reported six-year graduation rate is 52% in the 2024-25 IPEDS figures. Its four-year rate is 36%. These measures track a defined entering cohort of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students, not every undergraduate who attends the college.

The difference between the two rates shows why the measurement window matters: some students complete a degree after four years but within six. The reported first-year retention rate is 72%, a separate measure of whether students continue at the institution rather than whether they eventually graduate.

Transfer students, part-time students and students who finish elsewhere may not be represented in the standard graduation-rate cohort in the way a reader expects. Applicants comparing colleges should use the same cohort definition and reporting period, and consider how course sequencing and their own anticipated enrollment pace could affect time to degree.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Wayne State College?

College Scorecard field-of-study data provide a limited view of earnings about one year after completion for federally aided students in reportable programs. The figures are not starting-salary offers, do not describe every graduate and should not be treated as earnings guarantees.

Reported one-year median earnings include $45,691 for information science/studies, $37,750 for business administration, management and operations, and $34,683 for teacher education focused on specific levels and methods. For psychology, general, the reported figure is $26,449. These are program-level measures, not a single college-wide graduate salary.

Early earnings can vary with occupation, location, further schooling and whether a graduate works full time. Privacy protections and reporting rules also limit which programs have publishable figures. Students comparing majors should consider these results alongside licensure requirements, likely graduate-study needs, program costs and longer-term career interests.
