* Following the method provided by the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC), graduation rates are calculated based on tracking groups of students who enrolled during the same period of time and within 150% of normal program completion time designated by the University. 150% of UMT’s normal program completion time for an associate degree is 4.5 years, a bachelor’s degree is 7.5 years, a master’s degree is 4.5 years (with exception of the MBA, MHA and MSHS degrees being 7.5 years), and a DBA degree is 10.5 years. Programs with their Graduation Rate shown as N/A do not have enough enrollments (10 or more) during the listed reporting period to report meaningful percentages.

FY 2013 3-Year official cohort default rate: 18.1 (this is an Unofficial rate due to UMT having less than 30 borrowers entering repayment and not having two years of previous data to calculate an averaged rate).
For more information on UMT default rate and loan repayment data, see the NSLDS data here by entering UMT's OPE-ID (041103).
