Heads up, curious high schooler here. What's the graduation rate at Indiana University? Like, do most students graduate in four years or do they take longer?
Hello there! At Indiana University, specifically at IU Bloomington, most degree programs are designed to be completed within four years. However, whether you graduate in this timeframe is highly dependent on a number of factors, such as the specific program you're enrolled in, the number of semester hours you take each year, whether you take summer courses, and how well you progress academically (among other factors).
According to the data, as of school year 2019-2020, the four-year graduation rate for full-time, first-time undergraduate students at IU Bloomington was around 69%. This does proportionately suggest that most students do graduate within the intended four years, but about a third of students take a bit longer. Indeed, the six-year graduation rate was 81%.
If graduating in four years is your goal, then it's helpful to start planning early. Be proactive in meeting with academic advisors, carefully scheduling your courses each semester, and focusing diligently on your studies. Be mindful of degree requirements and stay on top of deadlines and timelines for classes that are required. And don't forget to consider options like summer courses if those can help you get ahead or stay on track. Good luck with your academic journey!
