TCSG institutions offer a variety of degrees, diplomas, and certificates. GOSA's web report on TCSG presents information on (1) graduation rates for associate degree and diploma programs and (2) rates for students who earn a professional certificate. The data provided by TCSG show graduation rates assessed at 1.5 times the nominal program duration (i.e., "time-and-a-half" graduation rates). The nominal length of an associate degree program or diploma typically ranges from one to two years. This report presents both institution-specific graduation rates and systemwide graduation rates. Institution-specific graduation rates show the percentage of students who entered as a freshman into an institution and graduated from that same institution. Systemwide graduation rates reflect those students who entered as a freshman into an institution and graduated from another institution within the TCSG system. The graduation rates provided by TCSG show the percent of first-time, full-time, degree-seeking students that earn an associate's degree or diploma within 3 years. The nominal duration for students earning a technical certificate typically ranges from 3 months to 1 year. The "time-and-a-half" rates provided by TCSG show the percentage of students completing a certificate program within 1.5 years. The graduation rates are also shown disaggregated by race/ethnicity and by gender.
