GRADUATION RATE DISCLOSURE Of the full-time, degree-seeking, first-time freshmen who entered Biola University in Fall 19921, 43.48% graduated or con tinued their enrollment in the 1997-98 academic year. This enrollment persistence and graduation rate is used to estimate the number of graduates from the incoming freshmen class who may complete their degrees. Some of our undergraduate major programs, which contain our largest student enrollments, are longer programs that may take five or more years to complete.
