What are the graduation rates for students at Faulkner University?

Faulkner University reports relatively low graduation rates, with only 38% of students completing their programs. This figure places the university in the bottom 20% nationally, indicating challenges in student retention and completion. Male students graduate at a slightly lower rate of 34%, while female students have a higher graduation rate of 41%; both percentages remain within the lower quintiles for similar institutions.

The university's four-year graduation rate is particularly low at 20%, ranking it among the bottom 15% of colleges nationwide. Extending the timeframe to six years improves the rate modestly to 37%, yet this still keeps Faulkner University in the lower 20% bracket for graduation success over six years. Retention rates suggest some stability, with 70% of students continuing beyond their first year, but this is only average and falls within the bottom 35% compared to peer schools.

These numbers underscore the university's ongoing challenge to effectively support students through to degree completion, an important consideration for prospective students evaluating their options.
