While reviewing this information, please bear in mind: (1) The graduation/completion rate is based on six years of attendance that equates to 150 percent of our longest programs; (2) Since we are a four year degree granting institution our primary mission is to award earned degrees not to prepare students to transfer to other institutions, therefore, we have elected not to report our transfer-out rate; (3) The graduation/completion rate does not include students who left the federal government; and (4) Students who died were also excluded. This information will be updated once annually and will be presented on our Web site http://www.registrar.msstate.edu and in the annual Bulletin of Mississippi State University.
