Graduation Rates

In compliance with the Student Right to Know Act, found in Sec. 485(a) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, 34 CFR 668.45, Howard Community College (HCC) is required to disclosure graduation and transfer rates of undergraduate students entering HCC.  The percentage of students entering HCC in 2004 that graduated or transferred to a Maryland public or independent four-year institution within three years was 31.0 percent, with 20.0 percent transferring and 11.0 percent graduating.  These percentages were calculated based on the methodology and data provided in the Graduation Rate Survey.

Also required is the disclosure of enrollment information for the prior academic year of full-time, degree or certificate seeking undergraduates by race and gender, along with the number of these who received athletically related student aid.
