Fall-to-Fall Retention Rates
Associate fall-to-fall retention rates for fall entering students.
The following table provides the number of students enrolled in a given fall term, and compares this to the number of students who either graduate that year, or return the following fall. The number of students who do not graduate or continue with the program the subsequent year are categorized as "attrited." The final percentage is the retention rate (the % of students that were "retained" by the program).
