College Graduation Data
Data Limitations
The National Student Clearinghouse does not capture data from all colleges. It collects data from 98% of postsecondary public and private US institutions. We conduct our own research to augment this process; therefore, you may find slight variations in the data shown in the bar graphs and the actual numbers.
The fall semester immediately following high school graduation is defined as any enrollment that occurs between August 15 and October 31. Anyone enrolling outside of this data is not captured.
The National Student Clearinghouse only reports on graduation cohort for a seven year period.
Associates degrees are counted in the graduation completion data. This slightly skews the college completion rate.
