2024 IPEDS Graduation and Retention Rates

OVERALL GRADUATION RATES
The overall graduation rate tracks the progress of students who began their studies as full-time, first-time degree- or certificate-seeking students to see if they complete a degree or certificate within 150% of "normal time" for completing the program in which they are enrolled.

The transfer-out rate is the percentage of the full-time, first-time students who transferred to another institution.

Note that not all students at the institution are tracked for these rates. Students who have already attended another postsecondary institution, or who began their studies on a part-time basis, are not tracked for this rate. At this institution, 20 percent of entering students were counted as "full-time, first-time" in 2024.
