1. Percentage
rates on any population of less than 30 are
extremely unstable and may not be typical. That
is, a
change of one or two persons can make a huge percentage change.
Therefore, we do
not recommend quoting such rates unless they are aggregated over several
years. Accordingly, Table 704 displays the number of students
graduating from the relevant cohort, not the %. |
|
|
|
|
|
2. 6-year
graduation rates are typically calculated for the university as a whole,
not for particular major programs or departments, since students move
into and out of majors frequently and may not select the major in which
they eventually graduate at the time of freshman matriculation. A
program or department may graduate far more students in any one year
than were a part of the original freshman cohort tracked for that same
year.
3. If it becomes important to quote graduation "rates" for a
discrete discipline, and because most annual rates will be so small, we
recommend aggregating over several cohorts and reporting the "average
graduation rate" for a discipline across X years. To do so, sum
the first-time cohort number for the desired years and divide into the
sum of those graduating over the same years. This process will yield the
"average 6-year graduation rate for X years." |
