Program enrollment: Program headcount totals the number of students enrolled yearly.
Graduation rate: is calculated through the 2020-2021 academic year, based on new, first-time students entering in the fall semester, regardless of whether they enroll in the daytime or evening version of their program (if available). These rates do not consider incoming transfer students.
All programs utilize the Brightspace platform to collect and assess student work and to compile data and evidence of student achievement. The resulting outcomes and their analysis, which focus on identifying areas for improvement, are presented in the program’s assessment report. In the graphic below, the most recent assessment period for each Program Learning Outcome (PLO) is indicated, along with the percentage representing the level of achievement of the expected performance standard for that PLO, based on the rubric used to evaluate student work.
