Persistence and Graduation Rates

Health Informatics students are admitted in both fall and spring semesters. All students who persist, graduate but are not necessarily registered every semester. Retention is only a measure of students who continuously enroll. Kent State provides persistence and graduation statistics because of our focus on degree completion. Master’s students have up to 6 years to complete their degree, so we show 6 years of data.
