Student-Right-To-Know
Our data shows that 34% of the full-time new freshmen who entered Methodist
University in Fall 2002 have received a baccalaureate degree as of Fall 2008. This
information is provided pursuant to requirements of the Student-Right-to-Know and
Campus Security Act of 1990.
Graduation rates are a measure of the success of students in attaining their educational
goals. A graduation rate is the percentage of students in a given entering cohort (group)
who graduated within a specified period of time. The number of students in the entering
cohort is the denominator of the rate; the number of students graduating is the numerator
of the rate. The entering cohort of an institution includes all full-time, first-time degreeor certificate-seeking undergraduate students who began in the stated cohort year. The
time period is 150% of normal time to program completion (for example, for a four-year
program, the graduation rate would include students who had graduated within six years
of the beginning of the program).
Transfer-out rates are the total number of students in the entering cohort who are known
to have transferred to another institution within 150% of normal time to program
completion, divided by the cohort.
