UGA’s retention and completion rates remain strong

The University of Georgia’s first-year retention rate rose to nearly 95% this year, reflecting several ongoing efforts to improve the academic environment and support students.

Newly released data show the percentage of first-time freshmen who continue at UGA their second year rose to 94.6%, compared to 94.3% the year before. The university’s six-year completion rate held steady at 88%, matching the record high set last year. In addition, the four-year completion rate shows nearly three-quarters of UGA students graduate within four years.
