Academics

Academics are priority number one at Granite State College. This is a fact that is borne out by the institution's educational statistics. To assess any college or university, analysts rely on key indicators such as the retention and graduation rates. The retention rate shows how many first-time, first-year students return for a second year at any given college. The graduation rate measures how many stick around and earn a diploma. An adjunct to the graduation rate is the transfer-out rate, which shows how many motivated, well-prepared students move on to find the specific bachelor's degree program they need.

Granite State College's retention rate indicates high student satisfaction. They post a brag-worthy retention rate of 78% for their full-time, first-year students. That number leaps to 100% for their part-time students. Their overall graduation rate does drop to 19%, with 28% transferring to other schools. However, part-time students post a more-impressive 49% graduation rate. Whether incoming full-time students transition to part-time studies is not known, but part-timers are likely to graduate. Given that Granite State is primarily designed for online and non-traditional students, these figures are quite strong indeed.
