Academics


The retention rate at Vincennes University is only around 32%. This indicates that, for every hundred incoming freshman, 32 return the following year. The four-year graduation rate is 10%, but doubles to 21% for graduates who complete programs within six years. However, 34% of students transferred to a different school, likely one that offered a degree more focused on their career goals, so we can assume that many of them graduated, they simply didn’t do so from VU.

Because of the larger student population, the student-faculty ratio is 21 to 1, a bit high but there is still opportunity for students and faculty members to interact when necessary, though probably on a more by appointment fashion than the more informal chat after class. For students who need more interaction with their instructors, they should plan to make appointments with professors.
