Programs in the College of Nursing calculate completion rates for accreditation (i.e. CCNE, CNEA) reporting by dividing the number of students who graduate within a specified reporting period, minus those excluded, by the number of students expected to graduate within the reporting period. Completion rates are calculated using the maximum duration of a program’s published program length.
