Purpose: In accordance with Department of Education regulations, to inform the public about university graduation and transfer-out rates.

All colleges and universities are required to provide to prospective students, current students, and the public that information deemed "right-to-know". That information is listed below. Please note the distinction between "right-to-know" rates that combine associate level programs with baccalaureate programs and the graduation rate applicable to only those students pursuing baccalaureate degrees.

Definitions:

Graduation rate: the graduation rate after six years for undergraduate baccalaureate programs (four-year degrees) and after three years for associate programs (two-year degrees). These rates are only for full-time students who enrolled at St. Catherine University as degree-seeking college students for the first time. The rates do not include students who began their college careers at another institution and do not include students who enrolled as part-time students during their initial term of enrollment.
Transfer-out rate: students who began their four-year or two-year degree programs as full-time students at St. Catherine and subsequently enrolled in another college or university.

Rates:

Graduation rate for 2010-2013: 56%
Transfer-out rate for 2010-2013: 33%

The above rates represent an average of the last four reporting years (students who began college between 2010 and 2013) and include all first-time, full-time undergraduate students, including those in the university's baccalaureate and associate degree programs.

Graduation Rates for Students Pursuing Baccalaureate Degrees

The average six-year graduation rate for only those students pursuing baccalaureate degrees (excludes associate degrees) during the past four reporting years (2010-2013) was 61%. The transfer-out rate was 28%.

For the most recent reporting year (students who began in 2013), the graduation rate for baccalaureate-seeking students was 62% and the transfer-out rate was 29%.
