Graduation Rate

The graduation rate value includes only programs that were completed less than six years for four-year degrees or less than three years for two-year degrees.
Graduation rate is the percentage of institution’s new-entering, first-time, first-year undergraduate students who complete their program within 150% of the published time for the program. Graduation rate excludes a huge number of students. This index doesn’t take into account students of nontraditional enrollments - part-time students, students who enroll mid-year, and who transfer from one institution to another. So graduation rate alone can create a misleading picture. Completion rate in the form of total number of students receiving any types of awards/degrees creates a complete picture. Combining this data with graduation rate is a better way to compare institutions.

Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Great school . Great neighborhood. Very centralized.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™This school's exercise science department is a joke. The employees within this department possess poor communication skills and some of the faculty members don't even have degrees in exercise science which ultimately sets the students up for failure.
