Fall 2024 to Fall 2025(PDF)Criteria, Thresholds and Outcomes
The mission of TAMIU is to nurture its students’ academic and social development to be responsible and productive members of our global society. TAMIU contributes to this mission through the strategic plan goals(PDF), specifically through Strategic Plan Goal 2: Empowered Student Success and Wellness and Strategic Goal 4: Transformative International Experience.
In its Student Achievement Core Requirement 8.1(PDF) (CR 8.1), the Southern Association of College and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) requires institutions identify and publish Student Achievement criteria, goals, thresholds of acceptability and outcomes.
Student Achievement Criteria identified by TAMIU are first-year retention rate, undergraduate graduation rates, completions by Economically Disadvantaged Students, total degrees conferred, and first-attempt licensure passing rate. These criteria are measured by IPEDS Fall-to-Fall Cohort Retention, 4-year, 6-year, and 8-year Undergraduate Graduation Rate, 4-year Transfer Graduation Rate, and Licensure Passing Rates for Teacher Certification and NCLEX. Thresholds and aspirational goals for these measures are below.
Information regarding institutional performance on these measures is as follows:
