Notes:

  • The graduation/completion rate is based on 6 years of attendance that equates to 150% of the length of our standard program.
  • Reporting transfer-out rates is optional under the Student Right to Know Act. We have elected not to report out transfer-out rates because Wooster's mission does not include providing substantial preparation for students to enroll in other undergraduate institutions.
  • The graduation/completion rate does not include students who left the school to serve in the armed forces, on official church missions, or in the foreign service of the federal government. Students who died or were totally and permanently disabled are also excluded.
