Four-Year Graduation Rate

The Four-Year Graduation Rate is the percentage of students who complete their bachelor's degree within four years of starting college. It measures how many students graduate on time, providing an indicator of a college's effectiveness in supporting students through to degree completion. A higher rate suggests that more students finish their degrees promptly, which can also reflect on the institution's academic quality and support systems. This metric helps prospective students and families understand the typical time to graduation at a college, though individual timelines can vary based on personal circumstances and academic paths.
