45% of full-time students enrolled for the first time to La Roche 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 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 educational institutions.

Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Campus is pretty. Lots of personal attention as a student. Area is safe and convenient to shopping, etc. Lots of focus on diversity, inclusion, sharing culture. Sports programs have improved over the years. Overall, a great private college.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Wonderful professors for most programs and a small campus close to the city, but far enough out that theres not all the noise of the city. Food could be improved.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Graduated from here a few years ago. It was the perfect school for me. Professors are kind and willing to help. It is a small school, so professors and students easily get to know each other by name. Dorms are really nice- I especially liked having a private bathroom! The design program is demanding and a lot of work but a great program. I met many amazing friends here and highly recommend it!! I have so many fond memories here, I can't imagine having attended any place else! :)
