Program continuance is a measure of program-level persistence; how many students who were in the program last year and could have returned this year, did so. It is a one-to-one comparison of students from fall-to-fall and does not count students who have graduated nor new enrollees to the program, regardless of where they originated.

Average Time to Degree Completion
  2012 2013 2014 2015 2016
Time to Completion 4.58 4.72 4.55 4.45 4.6

Time to completion is calculated in years and reflects the total time from the time of enrollment in the program to the time of completion. It is calculated by summing the total time in the program for all graduates in a particular year divided by the total number of graduates for that year.

For the purposes of program review, students whose total time in the program exceeds 10 years are excluded from this calculation.

Graduation rate for those students in the program (any associated major code) who earn 60 or more completed credits during the specified academic year AND go on to graduate within three academic years. Because students earning 60 or more credits in the last year of the review period will not have had more than a single academic year in which to graduate, data for that academic year will not be displayed.
