We’re proud to be a national model for student success. In addition to reducing the average time it takes them to receive their degrees (by half a semester), we’re graduating more students than ever.

IN FACT, OVER A DECADE, WE MANAGED TO INCREASE THAT RATE BY MORE THAN 22 PERCENTAGE POINTS.

What’s our secret? Personalized student success plans for every student, combined with various university programs designed to maximize achievement. Our students are prepared to go the distance — well beyond the four walls of our lecture halls. Get a glimpse
