The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point (UWSP) has been listed in the New York Times as one of the top 109 colleges in the nation for percentage of students completing degrees within six years, a common time period for measuring graduation rates.

The listing, based on government data, appears in the Education Life section of the Sunday, April 23 edition of the New York Times. According to the table, 58 percent of UWSP students graduate within six years, putting UWSP on par with the State University of New York, Stony Brook; University of Maine, Farmington; Pennsylvania State University, Berks; Mississippi State University; and Oklahoma State University, Stillwater. It also states that 21 percent of UWSP students graduate within four years.

In addition, the table provides other information about the public institutions listed, including undergraduate enrollment and percent of out-of state enrollment for fall 2004, and the current cost of in-state and out-of-state tuition.
