Graduation Rates
Page Description
USG institutions offer a variety of degrees, programs, and certificates. GOSA's web reports present information on (1) six-year graduation rates for baccalaureate (bachelor's) degree programs, (2) three-year associate degree graduation rates plus transfer rates, and (3) two-year completion rates for one-year certificates. Each type of rate is for a base cohort of first-time degree-seeking freshmen. This report presents both institution-specific graduation rates and System graduation rates. Institution-specific graduation rates show the percentage of first-time, full-time freshman who graduated from that the same institution at which they matriculated. System-wide graduation rates reflect those students who entered as a freshman into an institution and graduated at the same or another institution within the USG. The data provided by USG show graduation rates assessed at 1.5 times the nominal program duration (i.e., "time-and-a-half" graduation rates). The nominal length of a baccalaureate (bachelor's) degree program is typically four years. Consequently, the bachelor's degree graduation rates provided by USG show the percent of first-time, full-time, bachelor's degree-seeking students that earn a bachelor's degree within six years. The nominal duration for associate degrees is two years; certificates range from one to two years. For associate degrees, the "time-and-a-half" rates provided by USG show the percentage of students completing the associate and/or transferring to a four-year institution within a three-year period. The certificate program completion rates provided by USG show the percentage of students completing a certificate program in two years. The graduation rates are also shown disaggregated by race/ethnicity and by gender.
