Graduation Rate
Defiance College graduation rate is below the national average.
47% of full-time students enrolled for the first time to Defiance College completed the education program and got a degree in 150 percent of the expected time of completion.
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 indicator doesn’t take into consideration 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 schools.

Student Reviews and Ratings for Defiance College
Overall Rating:
We are thrilled that our daughter is going to a college that focuses on the success of their students.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Decent and more laid back.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™#BoycottDefianceCollege ....the administration should be ashamed of themselves..... They denied students/football players there civil rights 11-11-17.... #BoycottDefianceCollege
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Nothing special. Low caliber students and loose admission requirements. Bad water in the town. More affordable higher quality education can be found elsewhere. Some upsides like travel but for the price you are paying not worth it.There is a reason the retention rate is low, not much else to say.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™This is one of the worst colleges out there. They require internship to graduate, but they don't try to help you find one. So after struggling to find one, they come after you and say it is a class and you have to pay THEM for it. This school doesn't help students with planning or teaching them how the system works so students fail or have to stay an extra year. I strongly recommend to everyone not to attend this college. It will hurt you in the long run.
