Indicators Used

INDICATOR

DESCRIPTION AND HOW IT WAS CALCULATED

One Year Attrition and Retention Rates

Formula: the 2nd year enrolled/not enrolled divided by the total cohort number=retention rate/attrition rate.  For example, In Fall 2020 there were 6 full-time new students in BA Marketing.  In Fall 2021, 3 of them returned.  Therefore, retention rate is 3/6 = 50%, Attrition rate is 3/6 = 50%.

Full-Time New Freshman Cohort Graduation Rate

Formula: total number of graduates divided by the total cohort number= graduation rate. For example, there were 4 full-time new freshman in BA Management in Fall 2016.  Three of them graduated from Chatham.  Thus, the graduation rate for this group student is 3/4 = 75%.

 

Master-Degree New Student Cohort Graduation Rate

Formula: total number of graduates in Master degree program divided by the total cohort number = Master degree graduation rate.

*For Online Majors: BA Business Administration

One Year Retention Rate

Formula: The retention rate is calculated without the graduated students included. For example, in the BA Business Administration program, there were 7 students who took classes under that program version in the 2020-2021 academic year. Six of them returned within the year (6/7=86%).
