Academics
Every college student heads to their university to earn a degree that will help them succeed in later life.

To measure academic value, researchers assess several different academic statistics. The retention and graduation rates stand out as two of the stronger measures.
California State University - Stanislaus is able to offer students a dynamite academic experience. Researchers know this because 87% of Stanislaus' first-time, full-time students are retained into their second year. This retention rate indicates that the vast majority of Stanislaus' students and their families are pleased with the instructors, curriculum, and campus culture. The value of the retention rate is found in the graduation rate, which is 57% for graduation within six years.
