I'm considering Temple University and I wanted to know about their current graduation rate. Can anyone provide some information on how their 4-year and 6-year graduation rates compare to similar schools?
Temple University's average graduation rates over a seven-year period are as follows:
- 4-year graduation rate: 57% (average from 2013-2019)
- 6-year graduation rate: 75.6% (average from 2013-2017)
These rates are for full-time, first-time undergraduate students who began their studies in the fall semester.
To put these numbers into context, consider comparing Temple with two similar public universities in the region: Drexel University and University of Pittsburgh. Here are their respective graduation rates:
Drexel University:
- 6-year graduation rate: 69.9%
University of Pittsburgh:
- 6-year graduation rate: 84%
Temple University's 6-year graduation rate falls in between those of Drexel and Pitt. Like any institution, these rates can be influenced by various factors, such as the type of students enrolled and the university's support services. It's essential to assess these rates in the context of your priorities and needs when selecting a university.
