Maryville University has many things going for it, not the least of which are its academic programs. Students from all over the Midwest migrate to St. Louis to learn and grow. Our researchers have found that this migration is for very good reason. When they reviewed the educational statistics, such as the retention and graduation rates, they found very good things, indeed.

The retention rate at Maryville is competitive with some of the nation's best universities. This metric measures how many first-time, full-time students return for a second year. Maryville was found to have an 83% rate of retention, which bodes very well. Indeed, they also report a strong graduation rate of 73%, with 20% transferring out. Researchers note that transfer students are generally highly motivated and leave only to leverage their experience into more-competitive programs. If we are to assume that they eventually graduate, Maryville prepares up to 93% of its students for a bachelor's degree.

These strong academic numbers may be a result of one other key metric: the student to faculty ratio. This average figure measures class size and how well students are able to access their instructors. Maryville post a 13:1 average student to faculty ratio.
