The six-year graduation rate at University of New England has wandered from Fall 1992 to Fall 2018 entering cohorts — up to 71.2% at the peak — but ends near where it began, at 68.3%.

A six-year rate can only describe a class that entered six or more years ago — by definition the last point on the line is that old.

Each point combines two years. Neighboring points share one year, so changes should be read with that overlap in mind.

These two-year windows closed before today's students borrowed — they describe past cohorts, not the current price of a degree.

How University of New England compares

State and national medians cover active bachelor-primary institutions, mixing public and private schools. Tuition uses in-state rates at public schools. These are broad reference points, not a ranking of similar schools or your likely bill.

Scorecard dates identify the release snapshot, not a shared measurement year. Earnings describe federally aided students who were working and not enrolled ten years after entry; cohorts and populations differ from the admissions and tuition figures.
