Student Outcome Data

• Retention and Graduation Rates
  • In accordance with the Higher Education Act (HEA) of 1965, as amended, each postsecondary institution must publish information regarding retention rates and graduation rates of degree seeking first-time, full-time (FTFT) undergraduate students entering the institution. CSU Global is a degree completion school that requires more than 12 transferable credit hours, and therefore does not have a first-time freshman cohort. However, retention and graduation rates for transfer student cohorts can be viewed on the University Data webpage.
