These data compare retention and graduation rates for UNC-Chapel Hill and the 36 public members of the Association of American Universities (AAU).

 

Note: Retention and graduation data for UNC-Chapel Hill freshman classes are based on campus-generated reports that exclude part-time students from the initial cohorts. UNC-Chapel Hill data reflects the most current information as of March 2009 and may not match prior published reports as the data has been updated to include retroactively awarded degrees. AAU data has been updated with the 2007-2008 AAUDE Comparative Retention and Graduation Study.
