Note: Graduation rate measures the persistence of first-time college students to degree completion within four years, five years, and six years at Iona College. Four-year graduation rate is considered as degree completion “with 100% of normal time” for a baccalaureate degree. Six-year graduation rate is considered as degree completion “with 150% of normal time” for a baccalaureate degree. For instance, the fall 2010 cohort, the most recent, earned degrees within 150% of normal time by completing studies by August 31, 2016.
