Note: Retention is defined as the percent of enrolled students of a Fall semester who return for the following Fall semester. Example: A student who was enrolled as a Freshman in Ag Sci & Nat Res in the Fall Semester 1999 and who was also enrolled as an undergraduate in the Fall Semester of 2000 is reflected in the 79.2% retention figure above. Cont. = Continued; Grad. = Graduated.
Preceding summer graduates are now included in these figures. This chart excludes special undergraduate students. Also note that some majors in University Academic Services have been excluded on this page. Students are counted as graduated if they have enrolled in a graduate program at OSU.
