Retention Rates
Student retention data compiled by New England College of Business and Finance (NECB) indicate strong retention rates among its undergraduate and graduate students. NECB's retention analysis of its online associate's and online bachelor's degrees reflects a course completion rate of 95%, with 4 out of 5 undergraduate students having continued from a first year of study into a second year of study. The College's data also indicates a 92% retention rate in its online master's degree programs.
"NECB attributes these comparatively high rates of student success to a compelling online learning platform, our dedicated faculty, and the substantial support services we offer our student population of mainly working adults," said Dr. Howard Horton, President of New England College of Business and Finance. "Our average retention rate is in the upper echelons for private colleges with associate's and bachelor's degrees as primary offerings," he added.
The retention rates at the exclusively online College have remained strong despite a weak economy that has imposed financial hardships, job losses, and relocations on many people, including students enrolled in NECB's online degree programs.
