A school’s graduation rate can indicate how likely a student is to complete their degree. At URBE University, over the last five years 61% 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 URBE University.
