Student Achievement & Success
As part of Â黨ÊÓƵ University's commitment to transparency, performance outcomes pertinent to our students' education are regularly shared with the public. These outcomes include enrollment data, retention rates, graduation rates, and passage rates for licensure examinations and the bar exam. Information is available by specific College or the School of Law.
Retention and Graduation Rates
First-Year Retention Rate
The fall-to-fall retention rate represents the percentage of students first enrolled in the fall semester of one year who are still enrolled at the institution in the fall semester of the next year, and is seen as one measure of student success at an institution.
Fall 2018 to Fall 2019 | Fall 2019 to Fall 2020 | Fall 2020 to Fall 2021 | Fall 2021 to Fall 2022 | Fall 2022 to Fall 2023 |
---|---|---|---|---|
76% | 78% | 77% | 78% | 75% |
Six-Year Graduation Rate
The six-year graduation rate is generally seen as another measure of overall student success at an institution. The rate given is the percentage of the cohort of students who entered in a particular year who were able to successfully complete their course of studies and graduate within six years.
2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 |
---|---|---|---|---|
65% | 64% | 63% | 67% | 64% |
NSSE Data
measures key aspects of first year and senior students' experiences in college, including students' engagement in educational practices that have been shown to be linked with student learning and success. Since the survey is given to undergraduate students at hundreds of institutions annually, the NSSE results can also be used to compare or benchmark the educational experience at Â黨ÊÓƵ University with other colleges and universities in the U.S. The NSSE was developed and is administered by the Indiana University Center for Postsecondary Research.
