GRADUATION RATE 3-YEAR AVERAGE
The data set represents the graduation rates for the 3-year period spanning 2008-2010. The College does admit students into the program two times per year and also accepts transfer students. This ultimately impacts the rate at which they complete their degree and impacts the graduation rates. The College has students constantly matriculating through the program, through internships, and taking the NPTE exam. Therefore, the graduation rate was calculated on the acceptance year not the graduation year.
