Student enrollment is 2,396, most of which consists of undergraduate students; a recent graduate class was made up of only three students. The student-to-faculty ratio is 12 to 1, which is a comfortable ratio for those who like to be able to easily reach and communicate.

You’ll be able to live in campus housing since the university does have dorms available for most, if not all of the student population. Additionally, if you have decided to begin college while still in high school, you’ll be able to earn dual credits for both high school and college. Students who have passed their AP exams may also receive credit for those exams.

As an incoming freshman student, you should know what retention rate means and what that percentage is for your university. This refers to the rate at which freshmen become returning students for their second year of school; this is 80% for Susquehanna University, which is a great rate.

The 4-year graduation rate is 68% and the 6-year graduation rate is 72%. Students preparing to graduate may have chosen to stay on for two more years so they could earn additional credits toward their major, especially if they attend part-time or if they are taking particularly difficult classes. The 6-year rate is becoming the new norm across the country, so these are solid rates all around. The average is around 65%.

If you need to earn extra money during the day, you may be able to free up that time. While evening classes are not offered distance (online) learning is offered, though you’ll want to discuss using these classes to shift your scheduling with an academic advisor.

Some of the more popular degree programs the school offers are business, management, marketing and related services; biological and biomedical sciences; communication, journalism and related programs; visual and performing arts; and social sciences.
