Peer institution comparisons of one-year retention
Seven peer graduate health science institutions in the NWCCU accreditation region developed a data-sharing/peer comparison consortium whose common goal is to improve student achievement, including the identification and closure of equity gaps, within their institutions and to comply with Standard 1.D.3. These peer institutions are: Roseman University of Health Sciences, Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences (PNWU), National University of Natural Medicine, Pacific University, University of Western States, Rocky Mountain University of Health Profession, and Bastyr University.
Please note: The clinical master’s and doctorate degrees used in peer comparisons are not necessarily equivalent, so peer comparison data should be considered cautiously. For example, other institutions offer degrees in physical therapy, pharmacology, nursing, and osteopathy, so retention rates vary based on myriad factors.

The Act further provides that such a student has the right to a hearing in order to provide for the correction or deletion of inaccurate, misleading or otherwise inappropriate data and provides that students be informed annually of the types of educational records maintained by the University that are directly related to students.
