On-Time Graduation Rates
To calculate on-time graduation rates, TTUHSC students are assigned to expected graduation cohorts based on the first academic period for which a student enrolls in credit hours toward a degree program. For purposes of comparison at an institutional level, students are expected to graduate within a specified number of years based on the level of degree sought.
- Students seeking undergraduate degrees are expected to graduate within 8 years of matriculation at TTUHSC following the IPEDS Outcomes Measures Survey metric.
- Students seeking master's degrees are expected to graduate within 5 years of matriculation at TTUHSC.
- Students seeking doctoral (including professional) degrees are expected to graduate within 10 years of matriculation at TTUHSC.

a School of Population and Public Health includes the Certificate of Public Health
and Master of Public Health programs,
which were a part of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences before 2022.
b On-time Graduate Times Rates were also calculated at the 4- and 6-Year timeframe
for baccalaureate students. The overall percentages did not change, demonstrating
robust achievement in graduating on time.
