Popular Educational Academic Programs at SLU

You, along with every student making the decision to attend their second year become part of the school’s retention rate. If a school’s rate is very low, it may be safe to assume that they didn’t provide what students were looking for in terms of great classes, accessible professors, and a generally good school culture. Luckily, at SLU this rate is 91%, which is excellent and lets you know you’re in a great place to earn your education.

Like the retention rate, the graduation rates are also high. The 4-year graduation rate is 71% and the 6-year graduation rate is 79%, which are both above average. The student-to-faculty ratio is 9 to 1 - low for a university of this size even though the student population is 12,799, making this a mid-size college based purely on enrollment.

Now let’s say you sign up for your classes for the upcoming semester and you don’t realize that two of your classes are scheduled for the same days and times. Even worse, classes for some majors won’t be offered every year! And those classes are, of course, the ones that are required for graduation. Your adviser may tell you to keep both classes and take that not-offered-every-semester class online. It’s great to have this option, and not every school offers it.

Take a look at the five most popular degree programs. One of them may be yours. They include health professions and related programs; business, management, marketing and related support services; biological and biomedical sciences; engineering; and parks, recreation, leisure, and fitness studies.
