Graduation rates are presented below for all new undergraduate students assigned to a degree-seeking fall cohort since 1994. Graduation rates for post-baccalaureate students are not included due to the diverse goals of this population.

Degree posting occurs over several months following a semester and degrees are occasionally posted retroactively to an older semester. For this reason, counts of graduates may change slightly over time.

Cohorts are established using NAU’s official 21-Day census population and stringent IPEDS rules. The program/plan used in cohort reporting and assignments coincides with the census-day major and adheres to IPEDS regulations for cohort reporting.
