Retention vs. Recruiting

Current retention rate requires over 20% more first-year students to achieve the same number of graduates as our target retention rate.

The cumulative cost of the current retention rate, as opposed to our target rate, is at least $1.2 million per year or the equivalent of a 2.6% increase in state appropriations.
