Tracking of Student Achievement

Consistent with its mission, the nature of the students it serves and the kinds of programs offered, AUD has established the following measures and goals to track student achievement:

GRADUATION RATE
AUD has selected the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) metric to track its Graduation Rate data, which is the percentage of undergraduate students who graduated within a time period equal to one and a half times (150%) the normal period of graduation. The normal graduation period for undergraduate programs at AUD is four years, except for the Bachelor of Architecture degree which is five years. The University set a goal of increasing the graduation rate from 58% to 66% within six to eight years after the baseline year of 2014. Table 1 lists AUD graduation rates for cohorts since Fall 2010. 

*Graduation rate also includes transfer students

RETENTION RATE
AUD measures the retention rate by the number of students returning to AUD the following Fall after their initial enrollment

UNDERGRADUATE COURSE COMPLETION
AUD measures the undergraduate course completion data as the percentage of hours completed in relation to hours attempted. The level of AUD student achievement as measured by average course completion rates remained steady for the period spanning Fall 2010 till Fall 2016, with a gradual increase observed since Fall 2017 and exceeding the goal of 85%

JOB PLACEMENT
This data represents the percentage of graduates who reported securing a job placement within 12 months after graduation based on data from the AUD Career Services Office

Base-line (2014): 75%
Goal: Increase
