Notes: 

1. The 6-year graduation rate is the rate required to be disclosed by the

Student Right to Know (STRK) Act.  Six years represents 150% of the

normal time to graduation for a typical Bates program.

2. An entering cohort includes all first-time, first-year students

entering in the fall of a given academic year.

3. Cohorts may be adjusted for the following reasons: death, military

service, church missionary service, federally-approved

foreign voluntary service.
