4 Year Graduation Rates for first-time student cohorts

* Note: These graduation rates are based on cohorts of first-time full-time undergrads starting in the indicated fall term but not necessarily in their original major. The major is determined as the final reported major of the student.
These rates may be slightly higher than externally reported rates (Chancellor's Office, IPEDS, CSRDE, etc.) because some degrees may be retroactively posted after the data submission.
