Graduation Rate
Stanford University graduation rate is above the national average.
95% of full-time students enrolled for the first time to Stanford University completed the education program and got a degree in 150 percent of the expected time of completion.
The graduation rate value includes only programs that were completed less than six years for four-year degrees or less than three years for two-year degrees.
Graduation rate is the percentage of institution’s new-entering, first-time, first-year undergraduate students who complete their program within 150% of the published time for the program. Graduation rate excludes an extensive number of students. This indicator doesn’t consider students of nontraditional enrollments - part-time students, students who enroll mid-year, and who transfer from one institution to another. So graduation rate alone can create a misleading perception. Completion rate in the form of total number of students receiving any types of awards/degrees creates a complete picture. Combining this data with graduation rate is a better way to compare educational institutions.

Student Reviews and Ratings for Stanford University
Overall Rating:
Stanford University campus is a great place to walk rollerblade or ride your bike. The campus is beautiful and well caps with several places to eat which are fairly priced.Parts of the campus are completely torn up right now they are doing a lots of maintenance and repairs while school is out. The museum is really nice as well I think they suggest a $5 donation but not required. There are lots of things and areas of interest to see around campus though I have lived in this area for 50 years or so I still discover new things when I explore the area.
