Retention/Graduation Rate
Retention Rates
First-time student retention
Retention rates measure the percentage of entering students who continue their studies the following fall.
Graduation rates for full-time, first-time undergraduates who began program in 2001
Percentage of entering students counted in calculating graduation rate:
60%
Overall graduation rate:
58%
Bachelor's degree rate
Six year rate by gender
Six year rate by race/ethnicity
(!) Interpret data with caution. There are insufficient cases for a reliable estimate.
One or more categories are not present in the race/ethnicity graph because of an insufficient number of cases.
Graduation rates measure the percentage of entering students who complete their program in a certain time. We report an overall graduation rate that counts students as graduates if this is their first time in college, they study full time, and they complete their program within 150% of its normal time. For a four-year degree program, entering students who complete within six years are counted as graduates.
