Undergraduate Retention and Graduation

Retention and graduation rates for our new freshman and new transfer cohorts can be viewed in the Universities of Wisconsin Retention and Graduation dashboard. To view UW-Platteville-specific information, select “UW-Platteville” from the “At University” drop-down in the dashboard. This student outcome data is collected and aggregated by the Universities of Wisconsin for every UW school from our Student Information System (SIS) using standard fall cohort-based methodology and definitions.

Time to degree by degree program area can also be viewed at the Universities of Wisconsin Time and Credits to Degree dashboard. To view UW-Platteville-specific information, select “UW-Platteville” from the “UW University” drop-down in the dashboard.

Placement and Earnings after Graduation

UW-Platteville administers the First Destination Survey to all graduating students using the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) standards and protocols. The results of this survey can be found in our Annual Placement Reports which provide placement, salary, and experiential learning participation and wages by program.

The Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes (PSEO) Explorer from the US Census Bureau also provides earnings information 1, 5, and 10 years postgrad for all Universities of Wisconsin schools. To view UW-Platteville-specific information, select “Wisconsin” from the “State” drop-down and then “University of Wisconsin - Platteville” from the “Institution” drop-down. Note that 1-year graduate earnings likely differ from those reported on the First Destination Placement Reports due to definitional differences, such as annual salary vs calendar year earnings and program categorization.
