  • Goddard Graduation Rates

    Undergraduate: 54%

    Graduate: 79%

    Percent of graduating students who complete within expected time or less:

    Undergraduate: 75%

    Graduate: 73%

    Standard reporting data has most colleges calculating graduation and retention based on first time first year college students.  Because so many of our students enter with transfer credit, the standard four year graduation and retention calculations aren’t an appropriate measure of our student success.  Instead, we calculate graduation based on the number of semesters that it should take the student to graduate based on their initial enrollment level, and likewise, retention. Industry standard dictates that graduation rates are calculated at time and a half (i.e., 150% of expected enrollment time to complete their degree).

    Retention Rates

    Undergraduate: Overall retention is 50%

    Graduate: 1st to 2nd year retention is 78%
