Graduation Rate
Meredith College graduation rate is above the national average.
62% of full-time students enrolled for the first time to Meredith 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 an extensive 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 perception. 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 Meredith College
Overall Rating:
I visited several times and I'm excited to be attending this school in fall as a freshmen! Everyone is so kind, and it's the kind of environment in which I think I'll excel in! I'm so ready to become one of Meredith's avenging angels.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™The faculty and staff are exceptional. Every student and alumni we have met are so kind, professional, and intelligent. We hope that with enough funds to attend the school and also hopefully the school will be able to have the renovations and updates to some of their buildings and grounds. Hope to be there soon!
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™People pouring into the area for professional jobs have helped Raleigh develop so well in the past couple of years and this school has been benefiting from it. However, with the city plan to expand a road, which is too heavy in traffic due to the rapid rise of jobs, this college is trying to fight such road improvements even though the hard workers using it are what's bringing the money and culture to Raleigh. A selfish move from a narrow-minded institution.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Meredith College is the best Liberal Art school. They do have a Wings program to help non-traditional students. Visit Meredith and get a first hand opinion of your own. This is a great women college.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Our daughter is a sophomore student and she loves her College. The teachers are very professionals and are available to help. The staff is very friendly. If the student doesn't have a car, she can rent one inside the college. The place inside and around the college is very safe; if somebody lose anything, it always appears. We were welcome since the first day. She feels that Meredith is her second home and we, like parents, are very happy about that.
