Note: Completion rates are calculated on a calendar year basis as the actual time (in average years) between entrance (the first term a student is enrolled at the master’s level as a first-time graduate student) and graduation in that program. An entering cohort is defined by academic year of entry (for example, the 2019-20 cohort includes students who entered in summer 2018, fall 2018, and spring 2019). These data include part-time students as well as students who stopped out. Completion rates are cumulative: for example, a 2-Yr completion rate indicates the percent of students who graduated in 2 years or less.

Note: Completion rates are calculated on a calendar year basis as the actual time (in average elapsed years) between first term enrolled in a given doctoral program and graduation. Thus, any lapses in enrollment (e.g., leave of absence, etc.) count toward the time-to-completion. An entering cohort is defined by academic year of entry (for example, the 2017-18 cohort includes students who entered in Summer 2017, Fall 2017, and Spring 2018). These data include part-time students as well as students who stopped out. Completion rates are cumulative: for example, a 6-Yr completion rate indicates the percent of students who graduated in 6 years or less. The goal for these metrics is to maintain or increase the observed rates year over year.

*The category ‘Other URM Students’ includes the ethnic category Hispanic and the race categories of American Indian/Alaskan Native and Hawaiian/Pacific Islander as well as more-than-one-race individuals who identify as being from one of the aforementioned race categories.

**The category ‘All Other Doctoral Students’ includes the following degrees for this time period: DMA, DNP, EDD, and JSD. There were no students enrolled in the DSW program in these cohorts.
