When considering where to go to college, students should understand the success rates of the institutions. The U.S. Department of Education defines graduation rates as figures for each school that show the percentage of first-time freshmen students earning a 4-year degree who wind up completing their entire program of study within 6 years of enrolling in their first class.
Only 13 percent of community college students graduate with their associate degree in two years.1
The number of college graduates has steadily increased in the past decade, especially among those earning bachelor’s degrees. But four-year programs do much better than 2-year community colleges. Graduation rates have increased at public, 4-year institutions, but fewer than one out of five students complete their associate’s degree in three years or less.2
A recent study published by the American Institutes for Research (AIR) paints a similarly grim picture by indicating that high college dropout rates cost both state and federal governments billions of dollars each year.
