About these student measures
The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.
New York Institute of Technology enrolls an undergraduate population that includes many Pell Grant recipients and a visible transfer pathway. Undergraduate enrollment is 3,440, with 45.1% of undergraduates receiving Pell Grants.
An estimated 19.4% of the undergraduate population enters as transfers or part-time students, so the campus includes both students beginning college there and those continuing prior coursework. These composition figures describe who attends, rather than admission priorities or any applicant’s odds.
Retention and completion both sit below the middle values for comparable institutions, and Pell recipients complete at a lower rate than the overall cohort. Among full-time bachelor’s-seeking first-year students, 78.0% return for a second year, below the peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), of 83.4%.
For the first-time full-time cohort, the six-year graduation rate is 58.8%, below the peer median of 68.8%. Pell recipients in that cohort have a six-year completion rate of 44.0%, below the overall rate by 14.8 percentage points.
The retention and graduation figures point in the same direction against their peer medians.
