The Student Achievement Measure is supported by six sponsoring associations, working together to provide a more comprehensive and accurate picture of student progress and completion as students move across institutions and state boundaries.

Lincoln University

Lincoln University is an 1890 land grant, comprehensive institution, which is part of the Missouri state system of higher education. Founded in 1866 by the enlisted men and officers of the 62nd and 65th Colored Infantries, LU was designed to meet the educational and social needs of freed African-Americans. While committed to this purpose, LU has expanded its historic mission to embrace the needs of a significantly broader population reflecting varied social, economic, educational and cultural backgrounds. Thus, the core mission is to provide excellent educational opportunities for a diverse student population in the context of an open enrollment institution.

The SAM Full-time Bachelor's Degree model tracks a group of students who started a bachelor's degree program at Lincoln University in the Fall of 2014. The students' progress toward a degree is reported within 4, 5, and 6 years. The same group of students is included in the results for every year.

The sections of the SAM chart represent the proportion of students in the original group with the following five outcomes.

  • Students who started at and graduated from Lincoln University are represented by the darker purple bar with the solid black bar underneath (). (This section of the chart Within 6 Years is approximately the same as the federal graduation rate, but it may differ slightly for each institution.)
  • Students who started at Lincoln University and then transferred to and graduated from another institution are represented by the lighter purple bar with the white stripe underneath ()
  • Students who started at and are still enrolled at Lincoln University are represented by the darker aqua bar with two white stripes underneath ().
  • Students who started at Lincoln University and then transferred to and are still enrolled at another institution are represented by the lighter aqua bar with the bottom white stripe ().
  • Students from the original group whose status is unknown are represented by the green bar with the top white stripe (). These students may have graduated or still be enrolled somewhere, but their status could not be determined conclusively.
