Illinois School of Health Careers

Illinois School of Health Careers focuses on providing students with the specific skills they need to succeed in their new careers, rather than a general education. Eligible students may qualify for financial aid, and Illinois School of Health Careers offers career placement assistance to graduates, including classes on resume writing, interviewing, appropriate business attire and the skills to succeed in a new career.

Retention and Graduation Rates

Overall Graduation Rate and Transfer-Out Rate

The overall graduation rate is also known as the "Student Right to Know" or IPEDS graduation rate. It tracks the progress of students who began their studies as full-time, first-time degree- or certificate-seeking students to see if they complete a degree or other award such as a certificate within 150% of "normal time" for completing the program in which they are enrolled.

Some institutions also report a transfer-out rate, which is the percentage of the full-time, first-time students who transferred to another institution.

Note that not all students at the institution are tracked for these rates. Students who have already attended another postsecondary institution, or who began their studies on a part-time basis, are not tracked for this rate.
