Graduation Rates

<< Back to Student Consumer Information

Graduation rates are one measure of the success of students in attaining their education goals. A graduation rate is the percentage of students in a given entering cohort (group) who graduated within a specified period of time. The number of students in the entering cohort is the denominator of the rate; the number of students graduating is the numerator of the rate. The entering cohort of an institution includes all first-time, full-time degree or certificate seeking undergraduate students who began in the stated cohort year. The time period is 150% of normal time to program completion (for example, for a four-year program, the graduation rate would include students who graduate within six years of beginning the program). Many factors should be taken into consideration when reviewing graduation rates. It is important to recognize that students withdraw from college for various reasons; academic, medical, employment opportunities, personal and financial issues are among those reasons.

* The number of students in this subgroup is less than 10, therefore the graduation rate data is suppressed in order to protect students’ personally identifiable information. 

NOTES:

Students who receive neither subsidized Stafford loans nor Pell Grant may have received other financial aid, or no aid.
