First year retention rates let you know how many students come back for their sophomore year. Graduation rates tell you how long it takes to complete a degree at UOPX - Virginia . Remember, every extra semester it takes to graduate will increase the cost of your degree.
We were not able to determine the freshman retention rate at University of Phoenix - Virginia .
Nationwide, the average first year to second year retention rate is 69.0% . When looking at just colleges and universities in Virginia , the average is 71.0% .
At UOPX - Virginia , there were 658 bachelors degree candidates in the class of 2016 . By 2018 , six years after beginning their degree, 36.5% of these students had graduated. After an additional two years, 38.8% of this class eventually completed their degree.
We consider the "on-time" graduation rate for a bachelor's degree to be four years, but colleges typically report their graduation rates after six or even eight years.
This implies that 61.3% did not graduate within eight years. Of these 404 students, 5 were still working towards their degree, 146 had transferred to a different institution, and UOPX - Virginia lost contact with the remaining 252 whom we assume dropped out.
First-time, full-time students under the age of 25 are much more likely to graduate in four years (on-time). Some schools cater mostly to traditional students while others cater to “non-traditional” students who may be attending part time and thus are likely to take longer to graduate.
Comparing the graduation rates of specific cohorts shown below will be more revealing than the overall statistics shared above.
