In accordance with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) standards, AHU publishes its goals for student achievement and the success of students in achieving those goals. Student achievement goals have been identified at the institution and program level. This information is updated each academic year.

Disaggregation of Graduation Rate Data
AHU enrolls a large percentage of students who receive Pell Grants. Because of that, the university disaggregates the graduation rate according to Pell Grant status. The tables below show the comparison results for Pell Grant versus non-Pell Grant students from the last three years.
Program Measures
Each professional program collects data for student achievement measures required by accreditation standards. The tables below list the measure, threshold, goal, and results for each professional program.
