How many students actually complete the CIR degree in one year? And what is the overall graduation rate?
All students complete their nine course registrations by the end of spring quarter. These days, over 96% of our students complete all of their work for those courses in the three quarters, between late September and mid-June. In a typical year, 25-30% complete the master’s paper by the end of three quarters as well. However, it is common for the rest to finish and submit their theses during the summer months, making for a total of approximately 85% who will have completed the entire degree in one calendar year. The rest delay handing in their theses, usually in order to take up a job opportunity in an excellent market, to do further research, or because they have entered a law or Ph.D. program elsewhere. Most of these students submit their theses and receive their degrees over the subsequent three quarters. We hope you will recognize how unusually strong this record of student completion is, particularly at Chicago standards of performance. It testifies to the care with which CIR makes
