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 gainful employment disclosure requirements or 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, the gainful employment program disclosure examines data between July 1 to June 30 on title IV students and 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 their accreditor web pages.
The data for this report is as of March 2018.

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.
