ChartObject Retention and Graduation Rates

Notes: 1) The retention rates are adjusted to include Health Science Center transfers. The graduation rates reflect those students starting on the

Norman Campus and graduating from the Health Sciences Center.

2) Beginning with the 1993 cohort, the definition of full-time degree-seeking first-time freshmen was changed to include summer entrants

continuing to fall and early entry students.

3) Beginning with the 1996 cohort, students completing a program of >2 and <4 years are added to the 6-year graduation rate. These students

are in degree programs where the professional degree is the first degree awarded, such as pharmacy and physical therapy.
