Xavier University

What are the graduation rates for students at Xavier University?

Xavier's reported four-year graduation rate is 59%, while its six-year rate is 68%. These rates track defined entering groups of first-time, full-time students over different lengths of time; they are not the share of all current students who will graduate.

The separately reported overall graduation measure is 69%, and first-year retention is 77%. Retention describes students returning for a subsequent year, not completing a degree. Transfer students, part-time students, and students entering some professional pathways may have different patterns that these first-time cohort measures do not capture. For an individual applicant, a degree plan showing course sequencing and expected time to completion is more useful than treating a campus-wide rate as a personal forecast.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Xavier University?

College Scorecard program figures provide a limited view of earnings roughly one year after completion for graduates represented in its federally aided student data. They are program-level medians, not starting-salary offers or a guarantee of what a particular Xavier graduate will earn.

Reported examples include $68,286 for computer science, $58,980 for registered nursing, and $54,403 for accounting. The corresponding figure for business administration is $49,529, while biology is $25,531. These are different fields with different routes into employment and further education; a one-year measure can be especially incomplete for graduates who pursue additional qualifications.

Students comparing these figures should consider the occupation they intend to enter, whether it requires graduate study or licensure, and the costs of reaching that point. Program-level earnings also do not establish what share of graduates found work, where they worked, or how much debt they carried.
