Graduation Rates

Includes students who graduated in May and August of a calendar year. For example, a student would be considered a 4-year graduate if they entered as first-time full-time student in the Fall of 2016 and graduated by August of 2020.

For comparison, the most recent national graduation rates at 4-year institutions for graduating within 6 years are 64% for all, and 68% for private not-for-profit institutions (Reference).

• A cohort is a specific group of students established for tracking purposes. A cohort is defined as all full-time, first-time degree-seeking undergraduate students who entered in the fall or preceding summer session of a given year.
• An adjusted cohort is a cohort that has students removed from it who died or are totally and permanently disabled, or left college to serve in the military, a foreign aid service, or a church mission.
