These IPEDS graduation measures follow defined groups of first-time, full-time students; they do not describe the eventual outcomes of every transfer student, part-time learner, or graduate student. Westcliff's reported first-year retention rate is 72%, a separate measure of whether students continued at the institution. Applicants comparing schools should match the same cohort definitions and time periods rather than treating any one percentage as an overall probability of graduating.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Westcliff University?

A Westcliff degree should not be evaluated as a promise of a particular salary. Earnings depend on the occupation, location, prior experience, degree level, and time since completion, among other factors.

When comparing program earnings figures across colleges, students should check whether a measure is a median or an average, whether it covers graduates who received federal aid, and whether it is measured one year or several years after leaving school. Those distinctions can substantially change the meaning of a number. For a Westcliff program decision, internship access, required credentials, total borrowing, and realistic entry-level pay in the intended occupation are useful alongside any published earnings measure.
