Graduation Rates
The graphs below for the Associate and Baccalaureate cohorts represent both 100% and
150% graduation rates. 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. 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 2016, whereas baccalaureate cohorts range from Fall 2008 through Fall 2013.

Trends in Baccalaureate Graduation Rates

Summary of Trends
- Baccalaureate 100% rates are stable, ranging from 48% in Fall 2008 to 41% in Fall
2013.
- The 150% baccalaureate rate has the highest gap 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.
