School Leadership Graduate Certificate (Blended) Student Outcomes
Fall 2021 was the first fall cohort. The program was replaced with an Online modality in Fall 2023.
Retention Rate
Students in the Graduate Certificate in School Leadership (Blended) program’s one-year retention rate for those entering the program in Fall 2021 was 100% (3/3).
Methodology: Retention rate is calculated as the number of students who enrolled in a Fall term of one academic year and returned in the subsequent Fall term, or graduated within the first academic year, e.g., retention rate = (# retained in Fall 2025)/(# started in Fall 2024). When the program length is one year or less, the retained count includes those who were retained one-semester later (e.g., Spring 2025/Fall 2024) or graduated within one-year of starting the program (e.g., # Graduated between 9/1/24 and 8/31/25 divided by # starting in Fall 2024). This retention metrics tracks students who return to the same program version level (program and modality).
Graduation Rate and Time to Degree
The Graduate Certificate in School Leadership (Blended) program length is 1 year. The 150% graduation rate for the most recent graduating cohort (22-23) was 90% (9/10). The average time to degree for these cohorts was 13 months.
Methodology: Those starting in Fall 2021 or Spring 2022 were the most recent graduating cohort who would complete their degree within 150% of the time. Time to degree in months is calculated by subtracting the start date of the student from the date the degree was completed or conferred and reported in average months. The 150% Graduation rate is calculated for full-time and part-time students combined. It is based on students who enrolled in the Fall and Spring terms of one academic year (the starting cohort) and graduated within 150% of the program length (e.g., 1.5 years), divided by the starting cohort.
