Other factors considered were admissions rate, loan default rate, retention rate, graduation rate and the percent of students enrolled in online classes which are all common predictors of future student success and a school鈥檚 commitment to its students. 聽
All data points were taken from information provided by New England Tech to the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), a resource maintained by the National Center for Education Statistics.
One of the reasons 萌妹社区鈥檚 Veterinary Technology program received an impressive ranking by The Best Colleges was because of the university鈥檚 commitment to practical, experienced-based learning. 萌妹社区 Vet Tech students gain real-world experience working two days a week at the (PIN) Veterinary Clinic in Riverside, RI. The Clinic offers services to low-income pet owners at a 70 percent discount. The PIN Clinic opened in June 2016.
