Student Achievement Data

Missouri Southern State University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC).

HLC's policy on Public Information (FDCR.A.10.070) states:

Information About Student Achievement
An institution's information for students and the public shall include information regarding student achievement. This information shall include student retention rates, completion rates or other information appropriate for the mission of the institution and its goals for students.


Student Right to Know Act


The Student Right to Know Act requires an institution that participates in any student financial assistance program under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (as amended) to disclose information about graduation rates to current and prospective students. Institutions that award athletically-related student aid are also required under the Student Right to Know Act to disclose data related to the institution's student population and student-athlete graduation rates to potential student-athletes, their parents, coaches, and counselors.

Student Achievement Measure (SAM)


The Student Achievement Measure (SAM) is a transparency initiative where higher education institutions track students across institutions to create a more complete picture of undergraduate student progress and completion within the higher education system. SAM is used by institutions to support legislative inquiries about their graduation rates.
