The Office of Accreditation and Education Effectiveness has developed interactive Power Business Intelligence Data Dashboards for the Baylor community and the public. These dashboards cover data from education programs across the College, providing access to a variety of data points and graphics related to graduation, retention, time to degree, job placement, and first-time pass rates. One of the dashboards also offers an overview of specialized accreditation and academic program reviews.
Additionally, we highlight how Baylor compares to peer institutions by offering dashboards on enrollment, student-to-faculty ratio, programs offered, and degrees awarded. For more information about our peer institutions, please visit the peer institutions webpage.
At Baylor College of Medicine, we prioritize data-driven decision-making and continuous improvement. If you’re unable to find the data you need on the dashboards or other Baylor webpages, please visit the data request webpage for assistance. Whether you’re a faculty member assessing programs, an administrator planning resource allocation, or a researcher, studying higher education trends, our team can support you in obtaining the necessary data.
Graduation Rate
The percentage of students who completed their program within 100% and 150% of the published time for the program or based upon benchmarking data from peer institutions. Graduation rates are calculated both with and without Leave of Absence students and are broken down by student demographic groups.
Retention Rate
The percentage of students who are admitted to and enroll in a particular cohort during an academic year and continue their original program studies in the following academic year. Retention rates are disaggregated by gender, race/ethnicity, citizenship, and award status.
Time to Degree
The duration it takes for a specific graduation cohort to complete their degree requirements and graduate. This duration is the total time spent in the enrolled program, excluding any periods when the student was not enrolled (referred to as registered time to degree). The report also presents the counts, mean, minimum, maximum, and standard deviation of time to degree, and is broken down by student groups.
First-time Pass Rate of National or Licensure Exams
The Percentage of first takers of certifying examinations who successfully pass the exam on the first attempt. The exams include ABGC Certification, DNP National Certification, PANCE, USMLE Step 1, and Step 2 CK. Pass rates by student groups are also presented.
Job Placement Rate
All students of a defined cohort employed in their field of training or related field upon graduation. Data visualization includes employment by state, specialty program, and student demographic groups.
