At Tennessee Tech, nearly two thirds of baccalaureate degree recipients earn their degrees within 5 years.
Some students pursue their degrees as part-time students and require more than six years.
Reduced course load, change of chosen major program of study, and part-time enrollment are factors that contribute to increasing the time for degree completion. Since the late 1980s, part-time undergraduate enrollment at TTU has remained stable at approximately 12 to 14 percent of enrollment, but there has been some reduction in student course load. Students of nontraditional age comprised approximately 3 percent or less of the first-time freshmen for the period of this study. IR Series , Vol.
