Admissions Breakdown

with midrange acceptance rates have higher standards of entry but
are still accessible to many students who apply.

students stayed to continue their studies the following academic
year. These students started in Fall 2019 and returned in Fall
2020.
Graduation Rate Insight
95% of students
graduated out of all full-time, first-time students who began their

not typically first-time students, as most are adult learners.
Therefore, the number of first-time students is traditionally low.
