What are the graduation rates for students at Wesleyan College?

In the IPEDS 2024-25 reporting, Wesleyan College's six-year graduation rate was 45%, and its four-year rate was 33%. These rates track a defined entering group of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree; they should not be read as the completion rate for every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.

For the same general reporting context, first-year retention was 76%, meaning roughly three-quarters of the measured entering group returned the following fall. Graduation rates reflect the experiences of earlier entering cohorts, not a prediction for a new applicant. The difference between the four- and six-year figures also matters financially: completing later can mean additional tuition and living costs.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Wesleyan College?

The College Scorecard field-of-study information reports $58,958 in median earnings for the registered nursing field one year after completion. This is a field-specific measure for the federally aided former students included in that federal calculation, not the salary of every Wesleyan nursing graduate or of the college's graduates overall.

One-year earnings are an early-career snapshot. They may reflect where former students work, whether they work full time, and the mix of credentials and jobs represented in the field. Applicants comparing majors should consider those limitations alongside program costs, licensure requirements, job interests, and longer-term employment possibilities.
