      Graduation Rate

      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 January 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.

      Graduation Rate at 150% by Degree and Race/Ethnicity

      As student numbers for race/ethnicity groups cannot be grouped with specificity, two categories, “Minority” and “Other,” were created to capture the information to display data.  The minority category includes Hispanic, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian, African American/Black, and Pacific Islander/Native Hawaiian.  “Other” includes two or more races, international students, and not specified/unknown.
