Section A: Student Enrollment1
This section displays NIU fall enrollment for academic years 2007 through 2017. Part-time enrollment
includes certificate/continuing education and thesis-only status students. Undergraduate enrollment
represents Bachelor of Strategic Intelligence (BSI) degree enrollment. Graduate enrollment includes both
Master of Science of Strategic Intelligence (MSSI) and Master of Science and Technology Intelligence
(MSTI) degree enrollment.

Section C: Graduation Rates
NIU Graduation Rate
NIU’s graduation rate is calculated at 150 percent of expected program completion time (referred to as normal completion)3. Graduation rates at normal completion represent the total number of first-year students who received a degree (actually conferred) within 150 percent of the expected program completion divided by the revised adjusted cohort. Normal completion at 150 percent equates to 1.5 years for full-time programs and 3 years for part-time programs.
NIU also records the actual cohort graduation rate by academic year (AY) of entry (referred to as actual completion). These rates represent the total number of first-year students who entered a degree program in a specified year of entry (referred to as the cohort year) and completed the program any given year thereafter (degree must be actually conferred.). These rates are subject to change year after year as more students within the specified cohort complete their program.
Graduation Rate Data4
Graduation rates are rounded to the nearest hundredth. Some rates represented are calculated from rounded rates.
Full-time graduation rates include full-time student data only. Part-time graduation rates include part-time student data only. Unless otherwise noted, graduation rates by degree program include both full-time and part-time cohort data and thus uses the part-time cohort year and trend years.
Graduate graduation rates represent the MSSI degree for AYs 2007-2011. NIU granted the first MSTI degree in AY 2012. From AY 2012 onward, graduate rates include both MSSI and MSTI.
NIU piloted an undergraduate part-time cohort in AY 2010-11. AY 2010-11 and AY 2011-12 cohorts reflect the part-time undergraduate cohort, when applicable.
3 NIU’s graduation rate definition has been updated to match the IPEDS 2017-18 graduation rate definition. Formally NIU’s graduation rate was reported at 100 percent of normal (expected) time for completion (within 1 year) for full-time cohorts and within 150 percent of normal time for completion (within 3 years) for part-time cohorts. 4 Data Source(s): Office of the Registrar NIU Annual Census Reports AYs 2011–2015, NIU Historical Dashboard Active Students “Census” Data as of August, 29, 2017, NIU Concentration from Degrees Conferred Past 50 Years Enrollment Data as of October 10, 2017, and NIU Graduation Status Raw Data as of October 12, 2017. Changes in historical rates may occur due to systems data quality clean-up efforts to update incorrect, missing, or duplicate student information.
NIU graduation rate at normal completion is the formal graduation rate reported to internal and external stakeholders, and in University publications.

NIU Graduation Rates
Current graduation rate data at normal completion includes first-year, full-time cohorts who began pursuing a degree in fall 2016 (AY 2015-16) and graduated within 1.5 years; first-year, part-time cohorts who began their pursuit of a degree in fall 2015 and graduated within 3 years; and all first-year, degree program cohorts who began pursuing a degree in fall 2015 and graduated within normal completion.5

5 The full-time cohort year is determined by the current year minus two academic years (AY 2015-16). The part-time cohort year is determined by the current year minus three academic years (AY 2014-15). The Undergraduate/Bachelor of Science in Intelligence graduation rate illustrated in this chart is derived using fall 2016, full-time cohort data only.

NIU Graduation Rates at Actual Completion
Current graduation rate data at actual completion includes first-year, full-time cohorts who began pursuing a degree in fall 2016 and graduated; and first-year, part-time cohorts who began pursuing a degree in fall 2015 and graduated, and all first-year, degree program cohorts who began their pursuit of a degree in fall 2015 and graduated.
5-Year trend data reflect the average graduation rates at actual completion for first-year, full-time cohorts who began pursuing a degree from fall 2012 (AY 2011-12) through fall 2016 and graduated; first-year, part-time cohorts who began pursuing a degree from fall 2011 through fall 2015 and graduated; and all first-year, degree program cohorts who began pursuing a degree in from fall 2011 through fall 2015 and graduated.

9 NIU students self-identify gender. Students with no gender designation are not accounted for in this reflection of graduation rates by gender. 10 AY 2010-11 cohort data required to complete a 5-year trend does not exist for the Master of Science and Technology Intelligence degree. 11 Only full-time cohort data is reflected in the undergraduate rates by gender. The Bachelor of Science in Intelligence is a full-time fourth-year program. NIU piloted a part-time program in Fall 2011 (AY 2010-11)—this data is not presented or represented in this reflection of undergraduate graduation rates by gender.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Historical programs of study and concentration designations do not match current MSSI and MSTI
concentrations, and cohort graduation rates with program of study/concentration designation do not
match program of study/concentration degrees awarded per year. The following student options effect
cohorts reflected in this report: Certificates as Concentrations: Students enrolled in NIU graduate
degree programs may take electives in related topics (concentrations) toward their degree. If a student
completes all required concentration courses and writes his or her thesis on an approved, related topic,
the concentration is annotated on the student’s final transcript. In AYs 2013-2015, MSSI degree students
who completed Certificate in Intelligence courses were awarded a concentration instead of a certificate,
providing they met the requirements for the concentration. Denial and Deception as a Concentration:
In AYs 2014-2015, both MSSI and MSTI degree students could earn a concentration in Denial and
Deception by taking the required courses and relating their thesis to the discipline. Current Programs of
Study and Concentrations: In 2016, CSI redesigned the MSSI degree curriculum into concentrations and
programs of study. MSTI Concentrations: The MSTI was offered in AY 2012 as a 2nd graduate program
degree – the curriculum was originally designed by concentration. In AY 2016-17, MSTI’s Information
Ops and Cyber Intelligence and Denial and Deception concentrations were organized into Information
and Influence and Cyber Intelligence and Data Analytics concentrations.12

Section D: Retention Rate
NIU’s retention rate represents the total number of first-time degree/certificate-seeking students from the previous fall who successfully completed their program by the current fall and the number of first-time degree-seeking students from the previous fall that are again enrolled in the current fall divided by the revised adjusted cohorts.15
Current Retention Rates16
Retention rates for first-year, full-year degree-/certificate-seeking students who began pursuing a degree in fall 2016 (AY 2015-16) and successfully completed their program by fall 2017 or continued enrollment in fall 2017.

Notes:
The full-time and part-time faculty categories were reviewed and updated for AY 2017 to better
reflect the terms and conditions of NIU hiring and teaching. The revisions may impact how faculty
counts and student-to-faculty ration compare to previously published figures.
The student-to-faculty ratio is calculated using Full-time Equivalent (FTE) for both students and
faculty. FTE is calculated by counting all full time people as one and part-time people as one-third.
The Student Part-time count includes thesis-only and certificate students.
The FTE faculty count includes active faculty only (faculty with a teaching schedule as of September
2017). Part-time faculty includes active Reserve, Adjunct, and Part-time faculty.
