学生的成就

生物医学信息学学院（SBMI）目前使用保留率和毕业率以及工作安置来监视学生的成就。SBMI学术和课程事务副院长办公室，学术课程协调员，学生事务主任，课程委员会以及录取，进步和毕业委员会参与了整个研究计划的监测和评估学生的成功。学术协调员审查了学生记录，以通过学习计划，学位计划的申请以及学生降低，不完整成绩以及未能继续注册课程的记录。入学，进步和毕业委员会还监视了学生通过该计划的进步。

In accordance with Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board definitions, the graduation rate for the School of Biomedical Informatics was determined using a 5-year completion rate for the Masters Programs and a 10-year completion rate for the Ph.D. programs.

如表8.1.a，8.1.b和8.1.c所示的所有学位课程，三个最近完成的学年的SBMI学生保留率分别为95％，95％和93％。8.1.a以下。因此，SBMI的目标保留率为90％。该目标设定为90％，因为我们的数据清楚地表明我们的保留率很高。如果保留率下降到80％的门槛以下，学校领导将采取纠正措施。

Impact of COVID-19

The majority of master’s students (greater than 70%) already attended classes in the online environment prior to the shift to entirely virtual courses at SBMI. In Spring 2020 a total of 6 students were unable to complete their courses in spring 2020. This is not an increase over semesters prior to the pandemic. No students were delayed in their graduation due to an inability to complete requirements. SBMI recorded no instances of students discontinuing their studies due to COVID.

SBMI M.S.程序

SBMI硕士项目提供face-to-face on campus or entirely online, as a full-time student or as a part-time student. The master’s program is primarily delivered (>70% of students) in the online environment to part-time students. For example, in Fall 2018, of the 122 enrolled master’s students, 98 (80.3%) were taking courses part-time. In Fall 2019, of the 132 enrolled master’s students, 106 (80.3%) were taking courses part-time. This is not surprising given that 52.5 percent of SBMI entering students already possess either a graduate degree or a professional (MD, PharmD, etc.) degree, with many employed full-time while pursuing additional SBMI education to enhance their careers. When reviewing the retention and graduation rates below, please note that the retention rates are calculated year over year, using the total number of master’s students enrolled as the denominator and those who discontinued or were dismissed as the numerator. The graduation rate is calculated using the number of students who matriculated in a given academic year as the denominator and those who have graduated as a numerator. However, given the large percentage of part-time students, some of whom only take a single course per semester, SBMI cannot view a graduation rate as complete until the full 5 year timeframe has passed. It should also be noted that master’s students can study for up to 8 years as a part-time SBMI student.

SBMI硕士按性别的保留率达到了SBMI目标率，除了表8.1.D和下面的图8.1.b所示，AY 2019的男性保留率除外。女学生的保留率仍然很高，最近三年以上95％以上。从2018年的AY 2018到2019年的男学生的5％下降是出乎意料的，但这可能是由于学术政策的变化所致，在学术政策中，单个F在课程中获得的单一F现在导致SBMI被解雇。在2018年秋季之前，该政策允许在学生被解雇之前3 f。每个学年的性别保留率将继续受到监控。如果男学生在第二年的90％以下的比率保持在90％以下，则SBMI将在一个学期的基础上进行监视，并探索为挣扎的男学生提供补救。

SBMI M.S.Graduation Rates

In accordance with Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board definitions, the graduation rate for the School of Biomedical Informatics was determined using a 5-year completion rate for the masters programs. Because of the 5 year timeframe, additional years of data are shown. SBMI has set a target rate of graduating 70 percent of SBMI master’s enrollees within five years. The threshold requiring corrective action for the master’s program graduation rate is 60 percent. The overall 5-year graduation rate can be seen in Table 8.1.f and Figure 8.1.d. In AY 2014 and 2016, the target was met, while it was not met for AY 2015, 2017, and 2018. The rates for 2015 and 2017 do not meet the threshold for corrective action. It should be noted that the student profile for the SBMI master’s student is skewed to adults returning to school for additional education, while many have a full-time job and family. Additionally, Texas endured Hurricane Harvey in Fall 2017 causing many to reduce their workload due to personal or professional needs. Because of this, the 5 year graduation rate for the students entering the master’s program in 2018 will continue to be monitored. Should the final rate remain below 60 percent, a further analysis will be conducted to determine the reasons and develop a corrective action plan. It is also noted that, while Texas reviews the 5-year graduation rate, SBMI allows students to study part-time for 8 years in the master’s program.

除2018年以外，所有录取的年份都达到了SBMI目标率，如表8.1.G和图8.1.e.鉴于这些数字是在2020年汇编的，因此一些课堂学生仍在完成学位课程。对于基于网络的学生，SBMI在2014年达到了70％的目标利率，但在2015年，2016年或2017年没有达到目标率；但是，毕业率高于这些年的60％的行动阈值。许多SBMI在线学生也参加兼职，因为他们也是工作的专业人员，通常与家人一起参加。因此，他们更容易受到外部压力的影响，导致他们在完成之前停止研究。基于网络的学生的2018年毕业率较低是由于大多数基于网络的学生兼职参加课程。

The SBMI M.S. 5 year graduation rates by gender can be found in Table 8.1.h and Figure 8.1.f. As can be seen, the female graduation rates are higher than the male graduation rates. In all years except for 2015 and 2018, the female graduation rates exceeded the target rate of 70 percent. Due to the part-time nature of a majority of SBMI students, the rates report for 2018 are incomplete. For the male students, the 5 year graduation rate for 2016 dipped below the Threshold for action; however, it rebounded above the threshold in 2017. SBMI is undertaking an in-depth analysis of the male students who fail to graduate within 5 years in an attempt to determine the reasons.

SBMI博士program retention rates occasionally fall below the 90 percent target, but never below the 80 percent threshold. As can be seen in Table 8.1.k and Figure 8.1.i, depending upon the number of Ph.D. students of a given gender, losing even 1 student can result in a dip below the target as happened for the female students in 2017. The retention rate for male students fell below the target in 2016 and 2018. One male student in 2016 and one male student in 2018 elected to leave the Ph.D. program to pursue full-time work.

SBMI博士Graduation Rates

SBMI measures the Ph.D. graduation rate for Ph.D. students within 10 years. The target rate for graduation from the PhD program within a 10-year timeframe is 70 percent. The threshold requiring corrective action for the Ph.D. program graduation rate is 60 percent. The target goal was met in AY 2016 and the threshold was met in AY 2018 and 2019 as seen in Table 8.1.m and Figure 8.1.k. The school has added additional milestones to the Ph.D. program to ensure students progress in a timely fashion and graduate within the 10-year window. These changes were effective in Fall 2016. It is also noted that less than 10 students entered in any year from 2004 to 2008, thus, losing 3 Ph.D. students can result in rates at 50 percent or lower.

The SBMI 10-year graduation rates for Ph.D. students broken out by gender are found in Table 8.1.n and Figure 8.1.l. With the exception of the students who entered in 2008, the graduation rates for males was higher than for female students. Additionally, for many of the years included, the numbers are very small. For example, for the cohort that entered in 2007, three female students started the program, with only one completing the program. In both 2007 and 2008, two male students started each year, with only one student completing the program. As has been described previously, this failure to graduate has already been addressed by SBMI. Additional structure was introduced into the Ph.D. program with the cohort that entered in Fall 2016. This structure included additional required courses such as Advanced Research Design and Critical Review of the Literature to help the Ph.D. students build foundational skills while completing important portions of their dissertation proposal. Additionally, prior to 2016, there was only one milestone, advance to candidacy, for the Ph.D. students prior to dissertation defense. Beginning with the 2016 cohort, Ph.D. students are required to complete a qualifying exam with both a written and oral component.

在信息学领域受雇的毕业生

One of the goals of SBMI is “to educate current and future leaders, innovators, and problem solvers.” The field of biomedical informatics currently does not have a credential or licensing exam for its graduates, so SBMI is tracking the employment of graduates in the field of informatics. Given the diversity of the SBMI student body, with 23 percent of entering students already holding a professional degree such as the M.D. or Pharm.D; and 29 percent already holding a graduate degree, the M.S. target rate for employment in informatics is set at 50 percent, with a threshold of 40 percent set for corrective action. All students are required to complete an exit survey upon graduation from the M.S. and Ph.D. programs. Graduates are asked whether they have a job in informatics. Potential responses are Yes, No, N/A, or leaving the entry blank. The responses for the M.S. graduates from AY 2017 to AY 2019 can be found in Table 8.1.p and Figure 8.1.m. In AY 2017 and AY 2018, the rate of those reporting a job in informatics fell below the target rate, but above the threshold for corrective action. In AY 2019 the rate rose above the target rate. Those who graduated with the M.S. and reported they did not have a job in informatics (an answer of No), were employed in other areas in health care, for example, as a nurse or a physician. Some of those answering N/A were also employed in other areas of health care. Of the 21 who left the question blank, 4 have continued into the Ph.D. program at SBMI and 1 was a medical student.

Should the rates remain below the threshold additional investigation will be pursued.
