Retention and Graduation Data

Retention rates measure the percentage of first time entering students who are seeking a graduate degree who return to the institution to continue their studies the following fall. Graduation rate tracks the progress of students who began their studies as full-time, first-time PhD seeking students to see if they complete a degree within 150% of ‘normal time’ for completing the program.
