About these student measures
The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.
Baptist Health Sciences University enrolls 770 undergraduates. The student body is shaped by two entry points: Pell Grant recipients make up 45.4% of undergraduates, and an estimated 66.1% arrive as transfers or part-time students.
That composition means the campus draws heavily from students who began coursework elsewhere and from families using federal grant aid, rather than from a single traditional entry route.
The first-year retention rate for full-time bachelor's-seeking entrants is 52.6%, below the 74.2% median for comparable institutions (same type and size). The six-year graduation rate for the first-time full-time cohort is 39.8%, also below the peer median of 54.9%.
Pell recipients in the same entering class complete at a higher rate than the cohort as a whole. Their six-year completion rate is 58.2%, which is 18.4 percentage points above the overall rate.
A student who enrolls should know that the published completion figures are for the first-time full-time group. An estimated 66.1% of undergraduates arrive as transfers or part-time students, so a large part of the student body is not captured in those rates.
