The graphs below show postsecondary graduation rates in 2018 overall as well as broken down by race/ethnicity and gender. The data in the graphs represent students enrolled full time at a 2-year institution who earned a degree within 3 years of enrollment and students enrolled full time at a 4-year institution who earned a degree within 6 years of enrollment.
When looking at overall graduation rates, nearly 60% of full-time students who enrolled in a 4-year college or university in 2012 graduated by 2018. However, only 35% of full-time students who enrolled in a 2-year college in 2015 graduated by 2018.

When looking at graduation rates by race/ethnicity, Asian students and White students had higher graduation rates at both 2-year and 4-year institutions in 2018 than American Indian or Alaska Native students, Black or African American students, Hispanic or Latino students, and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander students. When looking at graduation rates by gender, female students had higher graduation rates at both 2-year and 4‑year institutions in 2018 than male students. A limitation of the data is that students who transferred to a 4-year institution from a 2-year institution without earning a degree are not included.
