Hey! I'm considering applying to Shorter University, but I'm a bit concerned about its graduation rate. Can anyone provide insights on this? I want to ensure that I'll be getting my degree on time.
Sure, I'd be glad to help out. Shorter University has a six-year graduation rate of about 49%. This means that around 49% of students who enroll at Shorter fulfill all their degree requirements and graduate within six years. The four-year graduation rate is generally a bit lower.
If you're aiming to graduate in the traditional four-year timeframe, it's worth noting that graduation rates can depend on a wide range of factors, including the level of student support services, strength of academic programs, and more. At Shorter, they have a robust student support system with services such as academic tutoring, counseling services, and a learning center dedicated to helping students excel academically. They have a 12:1 student-to-faculty ratio, which typically means that you'll have a more personalized academic journey.
Graduating on time also heavily depends on you as a student— remaining on track with your academic progress, completing your required classes, and proactively seeking help when you need it. As part of your considerations, I recommend talking to current students or alumni about their experiences, as this could provide additional insights and help you make an informed decision.
