Student Achievement
The information below provides statements of goals and results for the following student achievement measures: graduation rates, first-year retention, and successful course completion.
ECPI University also participates (along with 634 other postsecondary institutions as of April 2018) in the Student Achievement Measure (SAM), which reports student transfers across postsecondary institutions to provide a more complete picture of undergraduate student progress and completion. SAM is an alternative to the IPEDS graduation rate, which limits cohorts to first-time, full-time students at a single institution. ECPI University’s student achievement outcomes using the SAM initiative methodology are provided at the following link: http://studentachievementmeasure.org/participants/248934
