Graduation Rates by Major Fall 1998 Cohort

Executive Summary

Typically, Southeastern reports graduation rates for the entire university or for a subgroup of students such as athletes, or by ethnicity or gender. This report is unique in that it will show graduation rates based on the original major of the student when they first enrolled at Southeastern. Each major will show a graduation rate for its major, for the major's department, the major's college and for the university. This report also includes information on student progression. Students were tracked by student classification for each semester. The Fall 1998 cohort of 2,588 first-time, full-time, degree-seeking students were tracked each semester by major for six years. Of the 2,588 students who started in Fall 1998, 654 graduated for an overall graduation rate of 25.3%. But if you look at those students who graduated with the same major they started with when they entered the institution, only 232 students graduated for a 9.0% graduation rate. In Fall 2004, the first semester after the six-year period, there were an additional 258 (10.0%) students who were still enrolled in Southeastern. In Fall 2004, students who transferred to another Louisiana public higher education institution made up another 6.8% (176). Majors in the College of Education and Human Development graduate within their original major at a much higher rate than the rest of the University, 17.2%. A smaller percentage of students are graduating from their original majors in the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business and Technology, and the College of Nursing and Health Sciences with 7.9%, 12.7%, and 12.2% respectfully. The departments of Foreign Languages, Marketing and Finance, Communication, Management, Teaching and Learning, Accounting, and Human Development all have relatively high graduation rates for those students who began in majors within their respective departments, 33.3%, 22.2%, 19.5%, 18.3%, 17.4%, 16.9%, and 16.3% respectively. Another measure in this report is the average-time-to-degree. For each major the number of semesters on average it took for students to obtain a degree is displayed. This measure includes all intervening semesters between the student's first semester here at Southeastern and their graduating semester, not including summer semesters. This number includes stop-outs. Overall, the average time it took for a student to obtain a degree was 12.3 semesters. The quickest time-to-degree for majors came from Government 8.8 semesters, and Social Studies Education 9.6 semesters. Art Education, Consumer Family Services, Sociology, General Studies, and Social Work had the longest time-to-degree with 25.0, 14.7, 14.5, 14.5, and 14.2 semesters respectively.

Graduation Rates by Major

Introduction This report takes a longitudinal look at a beginning cohort of students. This cohort was tracked for six years in order to analyze the retention and graduation patterns of Southeastern’s students. The analysis took first-time, full-time, degree-seeking freshmen in the fall of 1998 and tracked them for six years through Summer of 2004 using the following six categories: students persisting in the major; students who changed their major and are still enrolled; students who transferred to another Louisiana public higher educational institution; students who graduated within the original major; students who graduated outside of the original major; and students who dropped out. This report has included information on students’ progression through their program. This information will show by semester the number of students who progressed in their program. Graduation Rates The National Center for Educational Statistics Integrated Postsecondary Educational Data Systems’ (IPEDS) definition of graduation rates is the basis of this report. IPEDS considers a student graduated if that student has graduated within one hundred and fifty percent of normal time. For baccalaureate degree-seeking students, one hundred and fifty percent of normal time will be six years. For associate degree-seeking students, one hundred and fifty percent of normal time will be three years. Associate degree-seeking students are included in the “Within the Major” category if they graduated with an associate degree within the three-year limit. If the associate degree-seeking student changed their major to a baccalaureate major and graduated, they will be included if they have graduated within the six year time limit. Cohort The cohort is defined as first-time, full-time, degree-seeking students who entered Southeastern in the fall of 1998. First-time students are those students who have not attended any postsecondary institution prior to attending Southeastern. Full-time students are those who are enrolled in twelve or more credit hours. Students must have been classified in a degree-seeking major; students in Special Programs for Adults are excluded. Students who entered as Developmental or Provisional were tracked until they matriculated into the first non-developmental, degree-seeking majors. These majors were then used as their intended cohort majors. After the cohort was defined, the students were tracked each fall semester to determine if they persisted in their original majors, changed their majors and were still persisting, dropped out of Southeastern or transferred to another public institution. The students were also tracked every semester to determine if they had graduated in their original majors or if they had graduated in different majors. Two graduation rates are presented for each degree program. One is for those students who graduated in the original degree program. The second is an overall graduation rate for those students that started in that particular major including those who changed majors. There are also four comparative graduation rates given per major -- the department rate, the college rate, and two university rates.

Progression An indicator of students’ progression has been added to this year’s report. The students were tracked to see if they had obtained a higher classification for each successive fall semester. Therefore, in Fall 1999 progression indicates the number of students who were enrolled as sophomores. Likewise, this progression indicator for Fall 2000 and Fall 2001 indicates the number of students who were enrolled as juniors and seniors, respectively. For Fall 2002, Fall 2003, and Fall 2004, this indicator shows the number of students who have obtained senior status. Average Time to Degree Those students who graduated with a baccalaureate degree during Summer 2003, Fall 2003 and Spring 2004 semesters were tracked backwards to determine the Average Time-to-Degree. This figure per major indicates the amount of time, fall and spring semesters only, from the first semester the student started at Southeastern until and including the semester of graduation. Included in this figure are those semesters that would be considered stop-outs. This figure does not include transfer students. Graphs The graphs depict each major separately and reflect the cohort’s percent distribution between each of the above mentioned five categories. It is especially important to take into account the size of the cohort. Caution should be used when interpreting graphs for relatively small cohorts. A change in the status of one or two students in a major with a relatively small cohort may have a large effect on the percent change between categories. Note: This report follows the academic departmental reorganization of Summer 2004. The 1998 majors in this report are placed in the appropriate academic department in the new organization, although this may not have been their department during their college career.
