Online College Rankings 2010: Rankings by Graduation Rate
A college's graduation rate is a good indicator of a college's success as it relates to their students achieving their educational goals. A college with a lower graduation rate may be less successful at helping its students achieve their education goals than a college with a higher graduation rate.
The graduation rates listed below are provided by the College Navigator database (http://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/) from the Institute of Education Sciences, an agency within the US Department of Education. College Navigator defines graduation rate, for given year, as the percentage of full-time, first-time undergraduate students beginning a program in who graduated within 150% of the normal time required to complete a program. That means, if a program were 2 years long, a student who graduates within 3 years would be included in the graduation rate.
