Hey guys, I was doing some research and stumbled upon Sam Houston State University. I was wondering if anyone knew what their graduation rate is like. Is it good? Does anyone have a source where I could find more detailed information about this?
Sure, I can help with that! Sam Houston State University has a 4-year graduation rate of around 34% and a 6-year graduation rate of around 58%. This is about average, but it's always best to put these percentages into context. For example, graduation rates can be influenced by many factors including the type of students the school admits (e.g. more part-time students or students with outside commitments might take longer to graduate).
As for sources, reliable places to find graduation rates and other institution-level statistics include the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) or the university's own Institutional Research or Fact Book web page. Most universities publish demographic data, graduation rates, retention rates, admission rates, average GPA, among other things, and these can be a valuable resource for understanding more about the institution. I hope this information is helpful and best of luck in your college search!
