About these student measures
These measures use different populations and reporting periods, rather than one current entering class. The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.
University of St Thomas admits 85.4% of applicants, above the median of 71.2% for comparable institutions (same type and size). The university enrolls 6,245 undergraduates.
21.8% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants, and an estimated 12.1% enter as transfers or part-time students. The student body draws from federal grant recipients and people continuing coursework begun elsewhere.
Pell-eligible applicants should use the cost calculator to estimate their own grant-adjusted price.
Most students who start at the University of St Thomas stay and finish. The first-year retention rate is 88.4%, above the peer median of 83.4% for comparable institutions.
The six-year graduation rate for the first-time full-time cohort is 76.4%, also ahead of the peer median of 68.8%. Those figures point to a campus where persistence and completion run ahead of the norm.
The picture is less even for Pell Grant recipients. Their six-year completion rate is 61.1%, which trails the overall graduation rate by 15.3 percentage points.
For an enrolled student, the overall retention and graduation figures suggest a campus where the odds of making it to a degree are solidly above the norm. A student who receives a Pell Grant should go in knowing that the completion gap is real and plan to connect with advising and support structures early.
