Note: These figures were calculated in compliance with definitions established by the Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act of 1990. We do not have high school background data for all students. No students have been removed from the freshman cohorts, so each cohort includes students who have transferred to other schools, enlisted in the military, etc. Therefore, nonreturning/nongraduating students may be pursuing degrees elsewhere.
