Student Achievement at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities

The University’s institutional accreditor, The Higher Learning Commission’s (HLC) policy on public information provides that student achievement data including: retention rates, completion rates, licensure exam pass rates (where pertinent), data collected about students after graduation (e.g. employment, graduate school, etc.) and other information appropriate for the mission of the institution and its goals for students be made available to the public. 

Much of this information is publicly available in multiple public locations online at the program and college level at the University. This page serves as a summary site to provide ease of navigation to student achievement information at the University.  Other accreditation-related information can be found on the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost website.
