Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ uses the IPEDS six-year graduation rate as a key measure of student success because it reflects how effectively first-time, first-year students achieve their educational goals by earning a bachelor’s degree.
Retention Rates
| 2024 Cohort | 2023 Cohort | 2022 Cohort | 2021 Cohort | 2020 Cohort | |
| Retention Rate | 91% | 90% | 91% | 91% | 90% |
For 4-year institutions, retention rate is the percentage of first-time bachelor’s (or equivalent) degree-seeking undergraduates from the previous fall who are again enrolled in the current fall.
Post Graduation Outcomes
Career outcomes for graduates are an important measure of post-graduation student success. While these outcomes do not capture the entirety of what students learn or gain from a university education, they do tell a compelling story about how students leverage their knowledge and experience once they leave the institution. At Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ, we take career outcomes very seriously, and employ multiple measures to assess student post-graduation outcomes and success.
