Graduation and one-year retention rates of full-time first-time freshmen at any Colorado
public institution (not only the original institution). This measure is designed to
acknowledge the role of transfer among 4-year institutions. We do not regard this as a meaningful
measure for CU-Boulder, but it is reported by CCHE. Students graduating from institutions outside Colorado are not counted.
- All freshmen: 5 and 6-year graduation rates highest in the state.
- All freshmen: Retention rate under CSU’s high.
- Minority freshmen: 6-year graduation rate (the only one used) is highest in the state.
- Minority freshmen: Retention rate only 0.3 points under CSU’s high.
