Part Time and Transfer Students
The tables below contain data for retention and completion of first-time, part-time students as well as students that transfer in from another college to Northeastern.
The Retention table shows Fall to Fall Retention of First-Time, Part -Time and Transfer students by gender and race/ethnicity. Retention rates include students who attend in the fall and return the following fall; and students who do not attend the following fall, but who earn a certificate or degree during this time period.
The Completion table shows rates of completion by First-Time, Part-Time and Transfer students by gender and race/ethnicity who have been awarded certificates and/or degrees from Northeastern. Any student earning a certificate or degree is counted regardless of the time period taken to earn the certificate or degree.
NOTE: Cells with no data indicate no students in that category.
