2023 Program Evaluation Outcomes Report

Program Enrollment and Student Performance

Our full‐time program admits students each year in the fall. In the academic year 2022-2023 we had forty-eight (48) students enrolled.

Twenty-three (23) students graduated from the program in 2023 for a completion rate of 100%.

Student outcomes are evaluated each year on a variety of different metrics that are part of the overall program evaluation and college assessment process.

All students in the program earn High Pass or Pass grades.
