Description:
Percent of first-time, full-time Bachelor’s degree-seeking students at four-year postsecondary institutions who graduate within four years of starting their studies.
Methodological Notes:
The four-year graduation rate for a given year is the rate for students starting their Bachelor’s degree studies four years earlier. For example, the rate for 2010 is for the cohort of students that started their studies in 2006. Students who complete their degrees at different institutions than where they started are not counted as graduating.
Data correspond to four-year degree-granting postsecondary institutions participating in the Title IV federal financial aid programs.
