Key Element IV-B Program completion rates demonstrate program effectiveness.
This key element is not applicable to a degree or certificate program that does not yet have individuals who have completed the program.
Elaboration: The program (baccalaureate, master’s, DNP, and/or post-graduate APRN certificate) demonstrates achievement of required program outcomes regarding completion in any one of the following ways: • the completion rate for the most recent calendar year (January 1 through December 31) is 70% or higher; • the completion rate is 70% or higher over the three most recent calendar years; • the completion rate is 70% or higher for the most recent calendar year when excluding students who have identified factors such as family obligations, relocation, financial barriers, and decisions to change major or to transfer to another institution of higher education; or • the completion rate is 70% or higher over the three most recent calendar years when excluding students who have identified factors such as family obligations, relocation, financial barriers, and decisions to change major or to transfer to another institution of higher education. The program identifies the cohort(s), specifies the entry point, and defines the time period to completion, each of which may vary by track; however, the program provides the completion rate for the overall degree/certificate program. The program describes the formula it uses to calculate the completion rate. The program identifies the factors used and the number of students excluded if some students are excluded from the calculation.
IV-B 1. Describe the formula(e) used to determine completion rates (e.g., graduation rates). Specify the entry point and time period for completion for each program.
The Graduation rate is based on data reported in the ABHES Annual Report using the following formula: (G)/(BE) G=Total graduates who completed the program during the current reporting period July 1 through June 30, BE=Beginning Enrollment (number of beginning enrollments who were reported as starting with the graduating cohort) Entry point and time period for the completion of each program is July 1 through June 30.
IV-B 2. Do program(s) under review in the CIPR have individuals who have completed?
Yes No
Note : If “no” was selected above, please proceed to Key Element IV-C.
IV-B 3. In the following table(s), provide completion rates for each program under review for the most recent three calendar years. Note : While completion rate formula(e) may vary by track, the key element requires completion rates to be provided by degree and/or certificate program. Students who have left the program due to identified factors such as family obligations, relocation, financial barriers, decision to change majors, or transfer to another institution of higher learning may be excluded.
