Graduation rates are reported for the BS in Athletic Training program only and do not account for those students who changed their major and graduated from Sam Houston State University under another major. Graduation Rate is calculated as the sum of students with a “graduated” status divided by the total number of students in the cohort (excluding students with a leave of absence).
