Retention Data
The retention table below captures the overall retention for the MMLIS program. The table shows the number of students who began the program each semester, starting with the first cohort in Summer 2013 through the Fall 2018 cohort. Enrollment from the 1st to 2nd semester is a key transition point for students in the program, as the vast majority of students who withdraw from the program have withdrawn in the first or second semester. As such, the retention table shows the percentage of students who enroll for their 2nd semester in the program, where the overall average for the program has been 89%. In addition, the retention table tracks retention outcomes for all student cohorts, breaking down the percentage graduated, active, and withdrawn.
