Academics

Certain metrics reveal a great deal about a college or university. Retention rates are a good example. This rate shows the number of first-time students returning to the school the following year. Look for institutions with good retention rates, which can indicate student satisfaction with the school’s offerings and culture. The student-to-faculty ratio can let you know how much personal interaction there is between students and professors. The school’s graduation rate measures the percentage of first-time students completing their baccalaureates within 150% of the standard program time. So, six rather than four years.

MUH’s student-to-faculty ratio is quite low at 14 to 1. Its full-time faculty numbers 91 and part-time faculty is 103.

The retention rate for full-time students is good at 61%. However, the overall graduation rate (six-year) is low at 11%, with a four-year graduation rate of just 3%. That’s quite low, so you might want to check the transfer rates and see if there is a high correlation.
