Graduation Rates

The graphs below represent both 100% and 150% graduation rates for the Associate and Baccalaureate cohorts, respectively. A cohort is defined as incoming first-time, full-time students for the indicated fall term. The 150% rates include those who graduated within the 100% timeframe. It is important to note that students are counted as a graduate regardless of what level they achieved a degree; for example, if a baccalaureate student earned an associate degree but did not earn a baccalaureate degree, they are still included below. For both associate and baccalaureate graduates, the 150% rates are much higher than 100% rates, and have remained fairly consistent over a six-year period; associate cohorts in the graph range from those entering in the Fall 2011 term through Fall 2017, whereas baccalaureate cohorts range from Fall 2008 – Fall 2014.

Summary of Trends

Baccalaureate 100% rates are fairly stable as well, ranging from 48% in Fall 2008 to 50% in Fall 2014.
The 150% baccalaureate rates has the highest gap in rates over the six-year span, ranging from 70% in Fall 2008 to 54% in Fall 2012 and 2013; however, as shown in the data table, the “n” for this population is so small that even one or two graduates can have a strong impact on the percentage rates for graduates.
The figure jumped from 54% to 68% in Fall 2014, further speaking to the impact of the small n, and that over a seven-year span, rates are holding steady.
