Undergraduate Graduation Rates

 

The university’s graduation rate follows the integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) definition and is based on the identification of a cohort of students who enter the university in the fall semester as bachelor’s seeking full-time first time students. The graduation rate is calculated by dividing the number of students completing their degree within 150% of the published time for the program by the number of students in the cohort. For four year degree programs this is referred to as the 6-yr graduation rate. The 4 and 5 year graduation rates for the same cohort is also presented.
