What are the graduation rates for students at Wentworth Institute of Technology?

Wentworth's reported six-year graduation rate is 68%, while its four-year rate is 54%. These measures generally follow a defined cohort of first-time, full-time students entering a bachelor's program; they do not describe the completion rate of every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.

The difference between the measures indicates that some students completed after the four-year point but within six years. Reported first-year retention is 84%, a separate measure of whether students continued into their next academic year. Neither statistic explains why an individual student stays, leaves, or takes longer to graduate.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Wentworth Institute of Technology?

College Scorecard program-level figures report median earnings for federally aided completers approximately one year after graduation. For Wentworth, the reported figure is $76,551 for computer science and $72,808 for construction management; architecture is reported at $46,837. These are outcomes for measured groups, not starting-salary offers or predictions for individual students.

Program figures can reflect differences in occupations, location, further study, and the graduates included in federal data. One year is also a short window for comparing fields whose career paths develop differently. Applicants can use the figures as one comparison point alongside program cost, debt, placement information, and the kinds of work graduates pursue.
