The one-year retention rate for those entering the Master’s of Organizational Psychology (Online) program in Fall 2022 was 86% (6/7). The full-time cohort was 100% (1/1) and the part-time cohort was 83% (5/6).

When the program length is one year or less, the retained count includes those who were retained one-semester later (e.g., Spring 2023/Fall 2022) or graduated within one-year of starting the program (e.g., # Graduated between 9/1/22 and 8/31/23 divided by # starting in Fall 2022). This retention metrics tracks students who return to the same program version level (program and modality).
