The follow four metrics are similar to what national groups (such as Achieving the Dream, the AACC Pathways Project, the Voluntary Framework of Accountability, etc.) use to determine how well an educational institution is serving its students.

 

Data like these–that track students over long periods of time–typically use cohorts. A cohort is a group of students with similar goals and characteristics. For this analysis, each cohort consists of degree-seeking students who began college for the first time in the fall term of the given year. For more details about the cohort composition, hover over any data point.

 

All demographics are self-reported by the students.
