Student Achievement Metrics

Excelerate 2030 calls for Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College to embrace “Cultivating an environment that prepares students to achieve their goals and become productive members of society.” Promoting student success is a core institutional commitment at the institution. MGCCC tracks and monitors the following student achievement metrics routinely and publishes the outcomes for public consumption.

	Graduation Rates What percentage of full-time, first-time entering students earn a credential at MGCCC within three years?
	Retention Rates What percentage of full-time, first-time entering students who enroll in the Fall return to the institution in the following Fall term?
	Licensure Pass Rates What percentage of first-time test takers successfully pass a licensure examination?
	Placement Rates What percentage of CTE students are placed upon program completion? This rate is calculated as the percentage of CTE concentrators, who, in the second quarter following program completion, are: enrolled in postsecondary education, in advanced training, serving the military, volunteering with the Peace Corps or placed/retained in employment.
