Graduation Rates
Area of Focus: Student Achievement – Progression
About: MGCCC meets community needs by providing students with marketable skills and credentials obtained at program completion in a reasonable amount of time. Graduation rates of the first-time first year cohort are analyzed to better understand the percentage of incoming full-time, first-time entering students who graduate at the institution within three years’ time (150%). The rate is calculated as the total number of completers within 150% of normal time divided by the number of students in the full-time, first-time entering (FTFY) cohort.
Target Outcome: At a minimum, the college aims to meet or exceed the national average graduation rate as reporting to IPEDS by public two-year community colleges. The college set a goal to exceed the national benchmark and graduate 50% of the first time entering, full-time cohort will graduate from the institution within 150% of normal time to a degree (target).
