What These Numbers Mean
- On-time completion rate: on-time graduates (students who finished within the program’s published length) divided by students available for graduation.
- Graduates available for employment: all graduates except those who, after graduating, continued their education at an accredited or BPPE-approved school, were called to active military duty, or were otherwise unavailable as defined by the BPPE.
- Placement rate: graduates gainfully employed in the field within six months of completing the program (with employment verified by the college), divided by graduates available for employment.
- Exam pass rate: graduates who passed the first available licensing or certification exam, divided by graduates who took it. “Not reported” means the fact sheet gives no exam data for that program, usually because the state agency that runs the exam does not release results to schools.
The college can give you a list of the job titles it counts as “in the field” for each program. Contact Career Services at (562) 804-1239.
