Tech 2020 sets challenging goals by which the University 
will benchmark its progress 

• Graduation rate of 70%
   
• First-year retention rate of 85%
   
• 25% of first-time freshmen in the top 10% of their high school class
   
• 20-25% graduate students
   
• Triple our research productivity
   
• 10 patents granted per year
   
• 20 active tenants & five graduates per year from our Technology Incubators
   
• Research Park with six tenant companies
   
• Triple our endowment

It is the considered judgment of the Louisiana Tech University Family that an enrollment of 15,000 students would maximize the achievement of these goals.
