Graduation Rates
Comparative Disaggregated Graduation and Retention Rates
Graduation rates measure the percent of entering first-year students who graduate in six years or less.
For example, the most recent cohort is first-year students who entered in fall 2018 and the six-year graduation rate measures those who graduated by August 31, 2024.
