About This Page
This is Logan University's institution-level student achievement disclosure, published for the Higher Learning Commission and, for the Doctor of Chiropractic program, under Council on Chiropractic Education Policy 56. Program pages link here for the official rates rather than restating them, so there is one number of record per program.
Logan takes the same outcome-focused approach to education that it takes to health care. Program success is measured and published — course grades, board scores, retention, completion rates and graduate outcomes — department by department.
College of Chiropractic
The College of Chiropractic reports two core outcome measures each year under Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) Policy 56:
| Measure | Published goal |
|---|---|
| NBCE licensing exam success rate | 80% or higher across the four most recent years |
| DC degree completion rate | At least 70% on the two-year average |
Current-year figures for both measures are published with the Doctor of Chiropractic program outcomes.
College of Health Sciences
Retention and graduation rates are tracked for every College of Health Sciences degree:
- Bachelor of Science in Human Biology
- Master of Science in Applied Nutrition and Dietetics
- Master of Science in Nutrition and Human Performance
- Master of Science in Strength and Conditioning
- Master of Science in Sports Science and Rehabilitation
- Master of Science in Health Informatics
- Doctor of Education in Health Professions Education
Health Informatics did not recruit for the 2018–2019 academic year.
Physician Assistant Program
The ARC-PA has granted Accreditation-Provisional status to the Logan University Physician Assistant Program, sponsored by Logan University. Accreditation-Provisional is an accreditation status granted when the plans and resource allocation, if fully implemented as planned, of a proposed program that has not yet enrolled students appear to demonstrate the program's ability to meet the ARC-PA Standards or when a program holding Accreditation-Provisional status appears to demonstrate continued progress in complying with the Standards as it prepares for the graduation of the first class (cohort) of students. Logan University will matriculate its first class in January 2027.

Ed.D. in Health Professions Education
This program's first cohort entered in 2023-2024 and the 150% measurement window runs seven years, so no cohort has reached the measurement point yet. Graduation rates will be published once the first cohort reaches that measurement point.

Student Loan Cohort Default Rate
Three-year student loan cohort default rate (CDR) comparison, 2017-2019:
| Cohort | National average | Logan actual | Peer average |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2017 CDR | 9.7% | 2.9% | 2.5% |
| 2018 CDR | 7.3% | 3.4% | 2.3% |
| 2019 CDR | 2.3% | 2.8% | 1.8% |
Cohort Default Rates (CDR) for 2020-2022 are omitted due to the COVID-19 federal student loan payment pause. Under the CARES Act, federal loans were placed in administrative forbearance, resulting in "artificial" rates near 0% sector-wide. Consequently, the 2017-2019 cohorts represent the most recent representative baseline for identifying meaningful institutional performance trends prior to these federal policy shifts.
