Graduation Rate By School Level and Completion Time for Washington Colleges

The following table compares graduation rates between Washington colleges. For 4-years colleges, the rates are based on the time it takes to earn a bachelor's degree, which typically requires 4 years of study. Therefore, 100% normal time means 4-years, 125% normal time means 5-years, and the 150% normal time means 6 years.
For community colleges (2-4 years schools) and trade schools, the completion time to measure graduation rates vary depending on the length of the program. For example, 150% normal time for 1-year certificate programs is 18 months and 3 years for 2-years associate degree.
