The retention table below captures the overall retention for the MMLIS program. The table shows the number of students who began the program each semester, starting with the first cohort in Summer 2013 through the Spring 2023cohort. Enrollment from the first to second semester is a key transition point for students in the program. As such, the retention table shows the percentage of students who enroll for their second semester in the program, where the overall average for the program is 90%. The retention table also tracks average terms to graduation. Please note that the data reflects cohorts operating under the conditions of previous catalogue iterations. Starting fall 2024, students will follow a new catalogue with revised curriculum and program requirements. This change may impact the average terms to graduation moving forward.
