Beginning in Fall 2015, HWOS majors will be included in the bachelor persistence rates. Students who select into the MSOT program prior to graduating with a bachelor's degree will be excluded from the cohort when calculating graduation rates. One student selected into and enrolled in the MSOT program from the Fall 2011 cohort. Persistence rates include students who are still enrolled and students who graduated.
Student are considered in the starting cohort if they began their program in the summer or fall and were enrolled on October 15th.
