University of Baltimore
Public College in Baltimore, MD. Six-year graduation rate 38%. Median 10-year earnings $61,335.
Students who entered University of Baltimore reach a median of $61,335 ten years later, which puts this school in the upper band of undergraduate earnings outcomes. The six-year graduation rate is 38% — low enough that finishing cannot be treated as the default outcome. Median debt at graduation is $23,250, roughly typical for an undergraduate degree.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Admissions
79% of applicants get in, so the odds favor most reasonably prepared students. The applicant pool is small at 127, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. About 37% of admitted students enroll, a yield in the normal range. Read the score bands below narrowly: only 14% of enrolled first-years submitted an SAT score, and test-optional applicants are not represented in them.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)
These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.
| Test | 25th–75th percentile | Submitted |
|---|---|---|
| SAT Evidence-Based Reading | 370–650 | 5 (14%) |
| SAT Math | 370–680 | |
| ACT Composite | — | — |

A six-year graduation rate of 38% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. First-year retention is 60% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. Transfer-out runs to 20% — common enough at this school that the completion rate is measuring a smaller group than the entering class. The 10:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,223 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $14,545 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Net price varies modestly by income — $11,680 at $0–30k against $19,406 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 81% of students at an average of $7,268. About 40% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $11,680 |
| $30–48k | $14,337 |
| $48–75k | $17,472 |
| $75–110k | $19,477 |
| $110k+ | $19,406 |
