LBI was not ranked in College Factual's 2024 Best Overall Colleges report. This could be for a number of reasons, including lack of data.
With an acceptance rate of 91%, LBI has a fairly liberal admissions policy. However, don't just assume you'll get in! Put together a good application and make sure you include all requested documents and materials.
The student to faculty ratio at LBI is an impressive 8 to 1. That's quite good when you compare it to the national average of 15 to 1. This is a good sign that students at the school will have more opportunities for one-on-one interactions with their professors.
When estimating how much access students will have to their teachers, some people like to look at what percentage of faculty members are full time. This is because part-time teachers may not have as much time to spend on campus as their full-time counterparts.
The full-time faculty percentage at Laurel Business Institute is 42%. This is lower than the national average of 47%.
The freshmen retention rate of 78% tells us that most first-year, full-time students like Laurel Business Institute enough to come back for another year. This is a fair bit higher than the national average of 68%. That's certainly something to check off in the good column about the school.
During the 2017-2018 academic year, there were 238 undergraduates at LBI with 227 being full-time and 11 being part-time.
