HIGHLIGHTS
- Only one in
three baccalaureate students
began at KSU as a full-time
beginning freshman or learning
support student.
- Because of the urban location, it
is not surprising that 63% of the
baccalaureate graduates
transferred to Kennesaw State.
- Of the 1996-97 bachelor’s
degree graduates who began as
freshmen students (204), 50% completed
their program in five
years or less, 38% took six to
ten years and 5% took eleven to
fifteen years to graduate.
Twelve students (6%) who began
as freshmen took more than 15
years to complete their degrees.
- Many of the transfer graduates
(338 or 41%) completed their degrees
within five years; 37% took four to five years,
19% took six to ten and
3% took 11-20 years. Two transfer
students initially enrolled at
KSU in 1968.
- Of the graduates who began as
learning support students (284),
more than half (57%) completed
their degree requirements in five
or less years. Thirty three percent completed their degrees within
six to ten years. Twenty five students (9%) took 11-15
years to graduate. Four students
took more than 15 years.
- Fifty-four percent of the
graduates matriculated at KSU in
a fall quarter; 46% began in one
of the other three academic
quarters of the year. Less than
one half, (43%) of the transfers
chose fall as the quarter to
begin, while the freshmen and
developmental studies students
were more traditional, with 71%
of the freshmen beginning in the fall quarter.
- The average age of the
bachelor’s degree recipient
at KSU in 1996-97 was 30
which is about seven years older
than the average age at
traditional residential campuses,
reflecting the nontraditional
nature of KSU’s student
body.
- Of the 1,136 graduates, 54% were female, 89% were white,
6% were black and all other minorities made up 5%.
