Graduation Rates

The Student Right-to-Know Act requires all institutions participating in student financial assistance programs under Title IV of the Higher Education Act to report graduation rates.

As defined by the U.S. Department of Education, graduation rates reflect percentages of full-time, first-time students who complete an undergraduate degree within 150% of the the normal time to completion. For Marymount, 150% of the normal time to completion of a bachelor's degree is 6 years.
