What are the graduation rates for students at Saint Augustine's University?

Graduation rates at Saint Augustine's University reflect significant challenges in student completion. The overall graduation rate stands at 33%, positioning the institution in the bottom 15% nationally. Male students graduate at a notably lower rate of 16%, which places them among the bottom 5%, while female students graduate at a higher but still modest rate of 58%, ranking in the bottom 45%.

When considering the timeframe to graduate, only 13% of students complete a four-year program within that period, a figure that is alarmingly low and situated in the bottom 10% among comparable institutions. Extending the period to six years yields a slight increase, with a 20% graduation rate, but this remains very low and in the bottom 5% nationally. Retention rates also underscore the difficulties faced by the university, as just 53% of students continue beyond their first year, a rate that falls within the bottom 10%.

These figures highlight the university's struggle to maintain student progress and completion, with male students particularly affected by low graduation outcomes. Prospective students should weigh these statistics carefully when considering enrollment, especially if timely graduation and academic continuity are priorities.
