Over 90% of students who graduate do so in just over four years on average, and 95% of students completed their degrees within the acceptable time frame of six years. To provide some context there was 2,056 freshman that started at Notre Dame in 2013. Of those 2,056, 2,015 came back for their sophomore year, 1,846 graduated on time, and 1,955 graduated within six years. The retention and graduation rates could be attributed to the low 10:1 student to faculty ratio. One-on-one attention often aids in keeping students engaged, attending class, and finishing not only courses but degrees. High retention and graduation rates are an important statistic because low rates could be caused by a lack of student support or other student-negative factors at the school.
