Institutional Goals

After reviewing institution-level retention and completion rates, UAMS has adopted the following goals. These are reviewed each fall by the Institutional Assessment and Effectiveness Committee (IAEC).
One year retention rate goal: 80%
150% completion rate goal: 75%

One year retention is defined as the number of students in a defined cohort who enroll in any term during the second year of their program enrollment.

Completion is defined as the cumulative number of students graduating (out of a defined cohort group of students) at UAMS from a specified time period to a specified time period in a specified academic plan. The 150% completion rate goal means that 75% of all UAMS students will complete their program in 150% amount of the expected time. For example, a student in the PharmD program with a standard program length of 4 years will complete their program in 6 years.
