- Retention of First-Time Freshman
对提高毕业率至关重要的是,学生成绩的一个重要衡量标准是留校率. The university cannot graduate students it does not retain. The threshold of acceptability for fall-to-fall retention, chosen because the university wants to be improving over time, is Hardin-Simmons University’s own ten-year average, which is 66.8%. Its goal is 70%, 达拉斯浸会大学(Dallas Baptist university)是该校作为基准的八所同行院校报告的平均留校率, East Texas Baptist University, Houston Christian University, LeTourneau University, Lubbock Christian University, Oklahoma Baptist University, Texas Lutheran University, and University of Mary Hardin-Baylor.
HSU’s Peer Institutions are eight private, 德克萨斯州和俄克拉何马州(这两个州是俄亥俄州立大学吸引学生最多的州)的非营利性机构,以基督教为使命,注册人数在1000到1000人之间,000 and 4,999 (an IPEDS enrollment category).
