Student Graduation Rates

A cohort group of new, full-time students who enrolled at Terra Community College for the Fall Quarter 2004 was identified and tracked through three years. By the end of three academic years, 12% of the cohort group had earned an Associate degree or certificate from Terra Community College.

The four-year average of graduation rates for new, full-time students who enrolled at Terra Community College for the Fall Quarters 2001-2004 is 19%.

The four-year average of graduation rates for those students in "other sports" is 65% for Fall Quarters 2000-2003.

This graduation rate is not uncommon for community colleges because many students don't have the goal of earning an Associate degree and many students who are degree-seeking enter, leave, and then later return due to a variety of family and work obligations.
