The Student Achievement Measure is supported by six sponsoring associations, working together to provide a more comprehensive and accurate picture of student progress and completion as students move across institutions and state boundaries.

Missouri University of Science and Technology

Missouri S&T is one of the top technological research universities in the nation providing a top return on investment for students. Surrounded by Ozarks scenery (Rolla is about 100 miles west of St. Louis), the campus is accessible, safe and friendly. Known for its STEM programs, Missouri S&T also offers degrees in the liberal arts, humanities and business. About 6,909 undergraduate and 1,929 graduate students are currently enrolled in classes, making Missouri S&T big enough to accommodate a diverse population but small enough for individuals to stand out. Upon graduation, students are in extremely high demand by companies across the nation and around the world.

The SAM Full-time Bachelor's Degree model tracks a group of students who started a bachelor's degree program at Missouri University of Science and Technology in the Fall of 2015. The students' progress toward a degree is reported within 4, 5, and 6 years. The same group of students is included in the results for every year.

The sections of the SAM chart represent the proportion of students in the original group with the following five outcomes.

  • Students who started at and graduated from Missouri University of Science and Technology are represented by the darker purple bar with the solid black bar underneath (). (This section of the chart Within 6 Years is approximately the same as the federal graduation rate, but it may differ slightly for each institution.)
  • Students who started at Missouri University of Science and Technology and then transferred to and graduated from another institution are represented by the lighter purple bar with the white stripe underneath ()
  • Students who started at and are still enrolled at Missouri University of Science and Technology are represented by the darker aqua bar with two white stripes underneath ().
  • Students who started at Missouri University of Science and Technology and then transferred to and are still enrolled at another institution are represented by the lighter aqua bar with the bottom white stripe ().
  • Students from the original group whose status is unknown are represented by the green bar with the top white stripe (). These students may have graduated or still be enrolled somewhere, but their status could not be determined conclusively.
