    Academics


    Retention rates show the number of first-time students returning to the school the following year. A low retention school may indicate problems. As for graduation rates, this involves the percentage of first-time students who obtain their degrees within 150% of the traditional program time, or around six years. While that might sound like a long time, it’s becoming the norm across the nation. Low graduation rates are often indicative of systemic issues in the institution.

    At Trinity University, the student-to-faculty ratio is just 9 to 1. This makes the school a good choice for those who value small classes and the ability to develop personal relationships with faculty. The graduation rate is above the national average at 76%.

    Trinity University’s retention rate for first-time students pursuing a bachelor’s degree is 92% of full-time students, which is an excellent statistic showing that nearly all students return to the school after their first year.
