On-Time Graduation Rates
To calculate on-time graduation rates, TTUHSC students are assigned to expected graduation cohorts based on the first academic period for which a student enrolls in credit hours toward a degree program. For purposes of comparison at an institutional level, students are expected to graduate within a specified number of years based on the level of degree sought.
- Students seeking undergraduate degrees are expected to graduate within 4 years of matriculation at TTUHSC.
- Students seeking masters' degrees are expected to graduate within 5 years of matriculation at TTUHSC.
- Students seeking doctoral (including professional) degrees are expected to graduate within 10 years of matriculation at TTUHSC.
