自慰视频 University Student Achievement

The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC)听. In SACSCOC鈥檚 Policy on Institutional Obligations for Public Disclosure, student achievement information may include 鈥渞eliable information in retention, graduation, course completion, licensure examinations, and job placement rates and other measures of student success appropriate to institutional mission.鈥� 自慰视频 University uses many metrics of student achievement to evaluate the success of its educational programs.

Undergraduate Student Achievement

自慰视频 University tracks several metrics to evaluate each undergraduate cohort鈥檚 student achievement. Primary metrics are graduation rate and retention/persistence rate. A third metric evaluates undergraduate student outcomes, or placements, with respect to their activity following graduation. Historical retention and graduation rate data can be found in the听university Student Factbook, which also provides additional student assessment data.

  • Graduation Rate

    自慰视频 utilizes the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System鈥檚 (IPEDS) six-year graduation rate calculation to monitor student achievement. Using the IPEDS data feedback reports and comparative peer data, 自慰视频 expects each cohort to meet or exceed a 92% six-year graduation rate. Historical graduation rate data can be found in the university鈥檚听Student Factbook.

    • The most recent cohort (2019) achieved a six-year graduation rate of 92.6%.
  • Retention Rate

    Each year, 自慰视频 tracks the enrollment activity for each incoming first-year cohort of undergraduate students. Using the IPEDS data feedback reports and comparative peer data, 自慰视频 expects each cohort to meet or exceed a 95% fall retention rate. Annual retention data are published in the university鈥檚听Student Factbook.

    • The most recent cohort (2023) achieved a fall retention rate of 96.3%.
  • Outcome/Placement Rate

    自慰视频 has a robust process for collecting information related to undergraduate students鈥� first destination. This information is then analyzed, per the guidelines set forth by the听National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE)听 policies and procedures, and published in partnership with the 自慰视频 Career Center. As defined by the percentage of students from each undergraduate graduating class (for whom the institution has a known outcome/placement) that is either employed or enrolled in graduate education ("Outcome Rate"), 自慰视频 expects to exceed a 90% success rate. Historical data may be reviewed on the Office of Data and Strategic Analytics' Career Outcomes dashboard.

    • For the most recent graduating class with finalized data (2025), 自慰视频 had a knowledge rate of 97% and the graduating class achieved a 90.5% Outcome Rate (employed or in graduate school).

Graduate Student Achievement

For the institution鈥檚 Ph.D. programs governed by the , 自慰视频 evaluates two metrics for student achievement: time to degree statistics and data regarding sources of funding.

  • Time to Degree

    As a participating institution in the National Science Foundation鈥檚 annual听, 自慰视频 monitors Ph.D. candidates鈥� progress and completion of their degree from three starting points (since starting doctoral program; since starting graduate school; since earning baccalaureate degree). 自慰视频 expects to meet or exceed the median time to degree for both its peer institutions and all participating institutions in all three metrics. Data tables on the NSF SED provides more detailed information regarding national norms, presented in five-year intervals.

    • According to the most recent data (2024 NSF SED), 自慰视频鈥檚 median time to degree was 5.8 years since candidates began their doctoral program (5.7 years for most recent 2024 national data); 6.8 years since candidates began graduate school (7.3 years for most recent 2024 national data); 8.0 years since candidates earned their baccalaureate degree (8.6 years for most recent 2024 national data).
  • Sources of Funding

    自慰视频, in particular leadership of the Graduate School, places a strong emphasis on fully funding doctoral candidates during their pursuit of a degree. Using the National Science Foundation鈥檚 annual听, 自慰视频 benchmarks itself against national data and expects at least 35% of doctoral recipients will receive funding from fellowships and/or grants. Data tables on the NSF SED 听provides more detailed information regarding national norms.

    • According to the most recent data available (2024 NSF SED), 48.5% of 自慰视频鈥檚 Ph.D. recipients were supported through fellowships and/or grants (24.2% for most recent 2024 national data).

Degree Completion

Provided the broad array of degree programs and the variability between them with respect to achievement metrics (e.g., graduation rates, passage rates for licensure/certification exams, job placement data, etc.), 自慰视频鈥檚 colleges and schools offering professional degree programs evaluate student achievement data for their respective programs at the local level. Summary data are found below, including links to the respective college/school webpage(s), where available.

  • Divinity School

    Graduation Rate

    Leadership in the 自慰视频 Divinity School utilize data from the Association of Theological Schools鈥� (ATS) annual Strategic Information Report (SIR), which provides national data for benchmarking, to evaluate the graduation rates for its masters programs. 自慰视频 expects to exceed the national graduation rates for both the Master of Divinity and Master of Theological Studies degrees.

    The class of 2025 for each of 自慰视频 Divinity School鈥檚 master鈥檚 programs outperformed the national average graduation rate for all ATS schools, as follows:

    • Master of Divinity: 62% graduation rate, as compared to the national (all ATS schools) graduation rate of 56%.

  • School of Medicine

    The 自慰视频 School of Medicine (SOM) offers both graduate and professional degree programs. Generally, student achievement within the graduate programs is evaluated using the Graduate Student Achievement data presented above. However, the SOM administration and faculty do monitor two metrics locally to ensure student achievement: time to degree and productivity. With respect to the professional programs, SOM leadership monitors licensure/certification passage rates to evaluate student achievement.

    Time to Degree

    Using the same data from the Survey of Earned Doctorates that informs 自慰视频鈥檚 overall graduate student achievement data, the Biological and Biomedical Sciences program expects to maintain or exceed a median time to degree of 7 years.

    • Historically, graduates achieve a competitive time-to-degree of under six years. The 2024 cohort finished in an average of 5.4 years and the 2025 cohort completed in 5.3 years.

    Productivity

    Leadership in the SOM overseeing the graduate programs also monitors doctoral candidates鈥� productivity with respect to the number of publications authored. Using internally-tracked data in collaboration with PubMed, leadership expects doctoral candidates to have published at least two papers, one of which being a first-author paper.

    • Data from 2020-2025 reveal graduates from the SOM鈥檚 graduate programs published an average of over 5 papers (5.3), with at least 2 (2.2, on average) being a first-author paper.
