How this school serves students from different economic backgrounds, including Pell students, first-generation pathways, and long-term mobility outcomes.
The University of Arizona admits 83.8% of applicants, making it a broadly accessible institution by national standards. Among admitted students who submitted scores, the middle 50% scored between 1,170 and 1,370 on the SAT (interquartile range), and between 25 and 31 on the ACT. 16.5% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants and 22.8% are first-generation college students, reflecting a student body that spans a wide range of economic backgrounds. Transfer enrollment is meaningful as well, with 11.0% of students arriving via transfer pathways — a signal that Truman State University functions as a genuine point of re-entry for students who began their education elsewhere. Azimuth ranks Truman State University #1288 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. Freshman retention stands at 84.7%, and the six-year graduation rate is 68.5%, with 62.0% of Pell-eligible students completing within that window — a figure that speaks to how well the university supports students who arrive with fewer financial resources. Azimuth ranks Truman State University #588 for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions. Low-income graduates earn a median of $45,100 on a historical 10-year Scorecard measure, placing this cohort in the 58.2 percentile for low-income graduate earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. That figure carries real weight given that more than a third of undergraduates receive Pell Grants — the low-income cohort here is large, not a narrow slice. As explored in Azimuth's analysis of access versus outcomes at scale, the mobility story at broad-access institutions like Truman State University is shaped by both per-student outcomes and the volume of students who benefit from them — and the University of Arizona operates at a scale where even moderate per-student earnings gains aggregate into substantial upward mobility across its graduate population.
