The 2013–2014 report spotlights many additional improvement efforts intended to enhance the student experience, including:
- Increasing first-time, full-time student retention through year-over-year continuous improvement efforts, with 55 percent of bachelor’s degree-seeking students retained in the 2012-2013 academic year, as compared to 50 percent reported for 2011-2012.
- Helping students manage their finances with a new web-based tool called Manage My Loans. Students can view their academic progression in relationship to their aggregate loan limits and see the impact borrowing decisions have on their loan repayment.
- Supporting continuing education by launching three complimentary Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in the subjects of career development, cybersecurity and financial analysis. Nearly 21,000 course-takers have participated to date, with high completion rates compared to other MOOCs.
- Creating a student-centric scheduling tool to streamline students’ graduation path by providing the courses they need, when they need them and in the right morality.
Throughout the report, special attention is noted where the university is working to close the skills gap between education and workforce needs, and helping students complete their degree programs
