Florida State University’s four-year graduation rate of 68.4 percent is the highest in the State University System, school administrators told a Board of Governors committee this afternoon.
The four-year graduation rate also is the highest ever recorded among state universities. The figures are taken from the latest data reported in the State University System’s 2018 Accountability Plan.
“This wonderful news is the result of hard work and creative thinking by faculty and staff across campus,” FSU President John Thrasher said. “They are putting students on a path toward earning a degree while providing them with a strong undergraduate experience that prepares them to be successful after graduation.”
Of the freshmen who entered the university in 2013, 68.4 percent graduated in four years. By comparison, only 49.3 percent of freshmen who started at FSU in 2005 graduated in four years.
“That’s a very big deal. That’s among the Top 15 public universities nationally,” said Provost Sally McRorie, who is also executive vice president for academic affairs.
