Winthrop's goals for student achievement are embedded in the University's goals, to promote access and degree attainment, and to continually enhance the quality
of the Winthrop experience for all students.
Goal 1: Support inclusive excellence by expanding our impact on students and our communities
through enrollment growth and increases in retention and graduation rates.
This goal, pertaining to student achievement, is measured using data on enrollment, retention, and graduation rates. Aggregate graduation and retention data are presented in the tables below. Disaggregate data by gender, race and socio-economic status are located on the Student Consumer Information webpage.
Goal 2: Continually enhance the quality of the Winthrop experience for all students by promoting
a culture of innovation, with an emphasis on global and community engagement.
This goal, also pertaining to student achievement, is measured using data elements
from the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) Engagement Indicators (Winthrop’s NSSE-HIPS;
