The 150% graduation and persistent rate calculations are based on IPEDS requirements and are presented based on guidelines mandated in the federal Student Right to Know legislation. This graduation and retention rates are calculated for cohorts of first-time, full-time students based on Fall enrollment minus allowable exclusions.
For the ASN program, completion rates are calculated using the AACN definition which is “the percentage of students who graduate in no more than 100% of the stated nursing program length, beginning with the first day of the first nursing course, which can vary based upon a nursing program option.” For the BSN and MSN programs, students who have identified factors such as family obligations, relocation, financial barriers, and decisions to change major or to transfer to another institution of higher education are excluded from the calculation per CCNE.
The OTA graduation rate is calculated using the total number of graduates over a reporting period of three calendar years. Graduation rates are calculated using the total number of students who graduated from a program within 150% of the published length of the program, divided by the number of students on the roster who started in the program.
