Graduation Rates

Undergraduate Graduation Rates within Six Years

The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) 6-year graduation rate data are reported below. The 6-year graduation rate indicates graduates who enrolled as first-time, full-time students six years earlier and completed their baccalaureate degrees within 150% of the traditional 4-year graduation time frame.

 

The University monitors undergraduate retention in accordance with the Student Engagement and Success portion of the University’s Strategic Plan 2015-2020 that includes the over-arching goal of enhancing the climate of the University to cultivate greater levels of student success as measured by retention and completion. The Strategic Plan sets the following goal: raise the graduation rate to 55%. This goal will be re-evaluated during the 2020 strategic planning process.

  • Minimum – 49% (Based on the lowest graduation rate in the most recent 5-years)
  • Goal – Graduation Rate of 55%
