Graduation Rate
Plymouth State University graduation rate is above the national average.
57% of full-time students enrolled for the first time to Plymouth State University 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.

Student Reviews and Ratings for Plymouth State University
Overall Rating:
A phenomenal experience. I really feel that I grew as a person here. Granted, I was here for seven years; you'd pretty much have to be comatose to not grow in some fashion after seven years of college. No, I'm not a Doctor. Yes, I graduated. I now have a grown up job that I don't really like, but it helps me support a wife and son that I do. She went to Plymouth State as well, although we met after that. Which is good- did I mention I was in college for seven years? I was not, shall we say, on my best behavior around then. Anyhoo, PSU prepared me about as well as any institute of higher learning could, excepting for maybe prison. I'm guessing there's more 'street smarts' to be learned inside, whereas college really emphasizes more theoretical learning- academic if you will. Which I guess makes sense, especially when you consider the definition of academic. But I digress, I wouldn't think most parents who are considering college for their children would offer prison as an alternative. And vice versa I'm sure. So long story slightly shorter, my parents aren't felons and I went to Plymouth State and it was a more than adequate stepping stone to middle class adulthood. Probably not the most glowing recommendation, but let's be honest- if you're choosing a college based on Google reviews, you're not destined for Harvard.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™You get out what you put in.There are some fantastic teachers and professionals at this school. Unfortunately, many students did not seem to have the drive it took to make themselves better.College/university, in general, is not high school - students have the freedom to forge their own path and, without the same appropriated guidance of high school, veer off into the more social elements that Plymouth provides, for better or worse. I had teachers who were not the best at communicating, but I rarely had a educational experience where I thought that the teacher did not care about the teaching or the students. In the end, it's the teacher's responsibility to teach, but the student's responsibility to learn. I had good teachers.So, if you're ready to allow yourself to be educated and are able to make it an active routine, Plymouth is a good school. If you're here because this is a default school, a party school, or an extension of high school, you may end up wasting your money.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Beautiful, well-maintained campus. Professors really care about student success. Administration is streamlined and surprisingly non-bureaucratic. Highly recommended for just a class or two or for a whole degree.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™My school. I have many fond memories and many more great friends. If you are thinking about going here, then do! It's small, friendly, and a great place to learn. Winters can be ruthless though...
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Graduated from Plymouth State. My experience at Plymouth State was wonderful. Excellent education with caring professors. Dorms were always maintained. Excellent Business, Education and Meteorology departments. Great friendly student body with a lot of outdoor activities. Excellent choice for college if you do not want a large sprawling overcrowded campus.
