DRBU's reported student retention rate is 86%. Retention tracks continued enrollment from one year to the next; it is not a graduation rate and does not show how long students take to finish a degree.
At a university with very small entering classes, the experience of only a few students can noticeably change a cohort percentage. Applicants comparing completion outcomes should ask for figures that identify the entering cohort, degree level, and time allowed for completion. Those details are necessary before comparing DRBU with larger institutions or using a single statistic to judge likely degree progress.
Earnings statistics should not be used as a salary promise for a DRBU degree. Pay after college depends on occupation, location, further education, work experience, and which former students are included in a measurement.
When comparing liberal arts outcomes across institutions, check whether an earnings figure is a median or an average, how long after attendance it was measured, and whether it covers graduates or a broader group of former students. Federal earnings measures can also cover only people with qualifying earnings records and may suppress results for small groups. For DRBU's small programs, a single field-level figure would be an especially incomplete account of career paths.
