What are the graduation rates for students at Life University?

Extending the timeframe to six years yields a modest improvement, with a rate of 32%, but this too remains low and in the bottom 15% bracket. Retention rates mirror this trend, at 63%, which also places Life University in the bottom 20%, reflecting difficulties in maintaining student enrollment from year to year.
