An average of 70% of all Mayville State students choose to remain in North Dakota after they鈥檝e earned their degrees, filling work force needs and contributing to the state鈥檚 economy. For example, Mayville State鈥檚 RN-to-BSN online nursing program has grown rapidly and is helping to address the shortage of nursing professionals in the state.
In addition to a four percent increase in student headcount and full time equivalent numbers, the first-time, full-time retention rate is at a record high.
鈥淭his is a reflection of the hard work that Mayville State faculty and staff have put into student success initiatives,鈥� said Dr. Andrew Pflipsen, 麻豆传媒AV Vice President for Student Affairs. 鈥淲e make it our priority to see that students have good educational experiences and are successful graduates.鈥�
