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 Theme 2 — Focus on Growth of the  University’s Strategic Plan 2021-2026 (expanded to 2027) that includes increasing retention rates. The University’s previous strategic plan included the aim to raise the graduation rate to 55% and that has remained in place. This goal was achieved in 2016 and 2019 but has not been exceeded. The goal will be re-evaluated during the 2026 strategic planning process.
