The University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences (USAHS) tracks graduation rate by degree cohorts. These rates are based on USAHS institutional definitions and calculations which may differ to some degree from calculations required by programmatic accreditation, state licensure, and other graduation rate calculation definitions. The programmatic accreditations, state agencies, and/or Department of Education may utilize varying timeframes and/or student status when measuring retention and/or graduation. For example, programmatic accreditation examines data between Jan 1 to December 31.
Graduation rate is the percentage of students in a cohort that graduated within 150% of the expected completion time. Completion time is based on the credits required for completion as outlined in the USAHS catalog. The cohorts captured are based on the program length by reported calendar year.
CAPTE and ACOTE accreditation requirements on graduation and licensure pass rates are located on the respective program’s web pages.
The data for this report is as of April 2020.
