Completion Rate

Completion, or Graduation, Rate is defined as the percentage of students who graduate within a defined period of time. Completion or Graduation Rate data is provided in compliance with reporting requirements of the Student Right-to-Know Act (1990) and the Higher Education Act, amended (2008) (HEA), as well as the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN).

For HEA, the Completion (Graduation) Rate is defined as the number of students entering the institution as full-time, first-time degree or certificate-seeking undergraduate students in a particular year (cohort) who complete their program within a time period equal to one and a half times (150%) the normal period of time. At Graham Hospital School of Nursing, the normal time to completion is six (6) semesters, with 150% being nine (9) semesters.

For the Class of 2024 (cohort entering in August 2021), there were two full-time, first time students entering. 0% of these two completed within 150% time.
