Gainful Employment Information

The Department of Education requires institutions to disclose to current and prospective students the program cost, on-time completion rate, placement rate, median loan debt, and other key performance information for programs that prepare students for gainful employment in recognized occupations (75 FR 66832).

The intent of these disclosure regulations is to provide prospective students and other interested parties with information needed to make an informed choice about a program of study; however, there are significant differences in the missions of higher education institutions that are not apparent in the data we are being asked to report. Community colleges are open access institutions that provide services designed to meet the varying needs of its student population, including remedial education courses, career exploration opportunities, and evening and weekend programs for working adults. As a result, community college students’ course-taking and completion patterns are quite different from those of university students, and viewers are encouraged to exercise caution when interpreting this information or comparing information between institutions.

Where available, related student progress and success data generated by the program and reported to their accrediting body is also provided here. The intent of this additional information is to accommodate different data definitions required by specialized accrediting bodies, and/or to draw appropriate distinctions based upon institutional mission and the student populations that we serve.

Number of Students Enrolled at End of Award Year

The enrollment period is Fall, Spring, Summer (based upon the Financial Aid reporting year). Students are identified as enrolled in a program if it has been their "active major" during the award year, and they were enrolled in any classes. Enrollment is unduplicated and does not include students assigned to a Pre-major code. However, because students can have more than one active major during the year (change of major, non-credit programs, etc.), they may be reported in more than one program.

Program Length (consecutive semesters including Summer)

The amount of time necessary for the student to complete the degree or certificate as provided in the institution's publications (e.g., catalog, promotional materials). Program Length reflects the number of semesters generally required for a student to complete the program, and is typically associated with full-time enrollment.

Number Graduating within Normal Time

The number of students who have completed a program of study and graduated within normal time. To be counted as completing on time, a student must complete their program of study within its normal time, beginning from the date the student began attending the institution (i.e., institution start term). Normal time applies, regardless of whether the student transferred into the institution or changed programs while enrolled at the institution. Normal time is defined as the amount of time necessary for the student to complete the degree or certificate as provided in the institution's publications (e.g., catalog, promotional materials). This is typically two years for an associate's degree.

On-Time Graduation Rate

The number of students who have completed a program of study and graduated within normal time, as a percentage of the total number of program graduates during the award year. To be counted as completing on time, a student must complete their program of study within its normal time, beginning from the date the student began attending the institution (i.e., institution start term). Normal time applies, regardless of whether the student transferred into the institution or changed programs while enrolled at the institution.

Actual books and supplies costs will vary depending on actual program of study and personal purchasing decisions (new vs. used books; online purchases, etc.)

$600

Room and Board (per semester)
