6-Year Graduation Rate
The share of a first-time, first-year cohort earning a bachelor's degree within six years (150% of normal time).
Definition
The rate within 150% of normal time for first-time, first-year, bachelor's or equivalent degree-seeking undergraduate students who received a bachelor's or equivalent degree at the University.
How it is calculated
The newest cohort has had only four years, so its 6-year rate equals its 4-year rate until two more years pass.
