A school’s graduation rate can indicate how likely a student is to complete their degree. At New York University, over the last five years 87% of students earned their bachelor’s degree within six years of enrolling.
Students from different demographic backgrounds often graduate at different rates, so it can be helpful to look beyond the overall graduation rate. This chart shows how students of different races and ethnicities fare earning their degrees at New York University.
| Demographic category | Graduation rate at New York University | National average |
|---|---|---|
| American Indian/Alaska Native | 72% | 31% |

Student retention, or how often students return to continue their degree after completing their first year, is another helpful indicator. Over the last five years, at New York University, about 94% of full-time students returned the following fall to continue their degree.
The size and demographic makeup of a school’s student body can have a large impact on a student’s experience. New York University has 64,951 students, which puts it in the {SIZE_PERCENTILE} percentile of private, 4-year schools.
About 59% of students are female.
And about 33% of students are not U.S. residents.
