Graduation rates for Colorado four-year public institutions offering bachelor's degrees

Graduation rates - percent earning bachelor's degree within four, five and six years (students entering as first-time, full time degree-seeking freshman, in fall), three-year summary

The summary below details graduation rates for all Colorado four-year public institutions -- for all students entering as new fall (or summer) freshmen and graduating from the original institution (someone graduating from another school counts the same as someone not graduating at all). 

Graduation rates for four, five and six years are shown. The typical comparison is done on six-year graduation rates. For the most recent 2007 six-year graduation rates, students entered as new freshmen in summer and fall of 2001.

CU-Boulder has one of the highest six-year graduation rates in the state, and the highest of all the four-year colleges and universities in Colorado except Colorado School of Mines, a specialized engineering institution.
