Student Achievement and Success

Retention Rate

性爱天堂's Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness has identified acceptable, preferred, and ideal retention rates. Using data from reference institutions, retention rates are regressed on institutional characteristics. The resulting model is used to predict retention rates at 性爱天堂 based on the characteristics of each incoming cohort and characteristics of 性爱天堂 in the year each cohort started. The resulting prediction is 性爱天堂's preferred retention rate. The ideal and acceptable retention rates are the upper and lower limits of the 95% prediction interval around each predicted retention rate.听

For the last five years, 性爱天堂鈥檚 retention rate from first to second year has exceeded the preferred retention rate by 2-3 percentage points, ranging from 89% to 93% with an average of 91%. Among first-time bachelor鈥檚 degree-seeking students who started at 性爱天堂 in 2022, 92% were retained to the second year (see Figure 1).

Graduation Rate

性爱天堂's Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness has also identified acceptable, preferred, and ideal 6-year graduation rates. Using data from reference institutions, 6-year graduation rates are regressed on institutional characteristics. The resulting model is used to predict 6-year graduation rates at 性爱天堂 based on characteristics of each incoming cohort and characteristics of 性爱天堂 in the years each cohort was enrolled. The resulting prediction is 性爱天堂's preferred 6-year graduation rate. The ideal and acceptable 6-year graduation rates are the upper and lower limits of the 95% prediction interval around each predicted 6-year graduation rate.

For the last five years, 性爱天堂鈥檚 6-year graduation rate has consistently exceeded the acceptable rate by 1-7 percentage points, ranging from 76% to 82% with an average of 79%. Using the most recently available cohort (2017), 性爱天堂鈥檚 current 6-year graduation rate is 82%, which meets the preferred rate (see Figure 2).

Career Outcomes

性爱天堂 participates annually in the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) First-Destination Survey, which tracks the activities of college graduates within six months of graduation.

The First-Destination Survey provides a Career Outcomes rate, which represents the number of graduates who are employed, in volunteer or military service, or enrolled in further education divided by the number of graduates who are employed, in volunteer or military service, or enrolled in further education and those who are seeking employment or continuing education. In addition, the First-Destination Survey provides a Knowledge rate, which represents the percentage of graduates for whom an outcome is known.

性爱天堂 has identified acceptable and preferred Career Outcome and Knowledge rates based on comparisons with other institutions. The preferred values represent the rates at institutions classified as 鈥淏accalaureate Arts & Sciences鈥 by the Carnegie Classification of Higher Education. The acceptable values represent the rates of all graduates who earned bachelor鈥檚 degrees regardless of institution type.

At this time, data is only available for three years of graduates (2020, 2021, and 2022). In all three years, 性爱天堂鈥檚 Career Outcome rate has been higher than the acceptable rate, and for the last 2 years, 性爱天堂鈥檚 rate has been above the preferred rate of 92%. For students who graduated in 2022, 性爱天堂鈥檚 Career Outcome rate is 97% (see Figure 3).

graph illustrating Outcome Rate Chart 2020-2022.jpg

Figure 3: Career Outcome Rate Targets and Actuals by Graduation Year

性爱天堂鈥檚 Knowledge rate has been above the acceptable and the preferred rates in 2020-2022, with 81%, 79%, and 81% of graduates providing survey responses, respectively (see Figure 4).

Graduate Student Success

性爱天堂 offers six masters-level graduate programs, one in Accounting, two in Health Care Administration, and three in Education. All of 性爱天堂's graduate programs identify and evaluate goals and outcomes for multiple measures of student achievement, including time to degree, completion rates, and job placement or certification exam pass rates.听

Time to Degree

Each graduate program has a target time to degree based on credit hours and degree requirements. Table 1 shows the target time to degree for each graduate program, the most recent graduating cohort, and the percent of each cohort that graduated in the target timeframe. For the most recent cohort, all programs except the Health Care Administration (Executive) program had 100% of graduates complete their degrees in the target timeframe. The Health Care Administration (Executive) program has historically had 100% of graduates complete within the target timeframe, except for the 2019 and 2020 cohorts, which were impacted by the pandemic because all students enrolled in the Executive program are full-time employees in the healthcare industry.

Completion Rate

Each graduate program has a target completion rate of 95%, except for the Master of Arts in Teaching, which has a target of 80%. This lower target reflects the program鈥檚 emphasis on vocational fit 鈥 when students are counseled into other roles in education or into related fields such as non-profits, counseling, or social work, that is considered a successful outcome. The Accounting, Health Care Administration, School Psychology, and Teaching programs all met their target completion rates. The Health Care Administration (Executive) program did not meet its target, but only one student did not complete, and prior to the pandemic, the program consistently had 100% completion rates. Similarly, the School Leadership program did not meet its target, but only two students did not complete, and the four cohorts prior to 2021 all met the 95% target (see Table 2).

Each graduate program has a target job placement or certification exam pass rate. The School Psychology program and both Health Care Administration programs have a target job placement rate of 100% within 6 months of graduation and the Accounting program has a target job placement rate of 90% at graduation. For all four programs, the most recent cohorts to graduate had 100% job placement rates (see Table 3).
