1 Includes students declared in the Mass Communication or Public Relations programs on the fall census reporting date. Note that undergraduates do not declare programs until their sophomore years or later; so three- and five-year graduation rates are reported for first-time, full-time students in their sophomore years as approximations of institutional four-year and six-year graduation rates.
2 Minority is defined as the following ethnic/racial classifications: Hispanic/Latino, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and two or more races. Information reported does not include International Students or Race/Ethnicity unknown.
Non-Minority is defined as the following ethnic/racial classification: White. Information reported does not include International Students or Race/Ethnicity unknown.
