Calculated by dividing the number of graduates that completed the program within 150% of the normal completion time by the number of students that were enrolled in the corresponding admission cohort as of the day five of the first nursing course. The timeframe encompasses the initial entry into the program (Fall) until 1 year beyond scheduled graduation (May 31).
