Herndon, VA: National Student Clearinghouse Research Center.<\/p> Among the study's findings:<\/p> The Signature Report State Supplement includes detailed tables, providing a state-by-state overview of college completion outcomes within the four-year public, two-year public, and four-year private nonprofit sectors.<\/p> This report was supported by a grant from the Lumina Foundation<\/strong>.<\/p> Lumina Foundation, an Indianapolis-based private foundation, is committed to enrolling and graduating more students from college \u2014 especially 21st century students: low-income students, students of color, first-generation students and adult learners. Lumina's goal is to increase the percentage of Americans who hold high-quality degrees and credentials to 60 percent by 2025. Lumina pursues this goal in three ways: by identifying and supporting effective practice, through public policy advocacy, and by using our communications and convening power to build public will for change. For more information, log on to www.luminafoundation.org<\/a>.<\/p> As a supplement to Completing College: A National View of Student Attainment Rates<\/em>, the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center's fourth publication in the Signature Report series, this report focuses on six-year student success outcomes and college completion rates by state. Results are presented in three sections that show state-level outcomes for students who started college at (a) four-year public institutions, (b) two-year public institutions, and (c) four-year private nonprofit institutions. Each section provides a state-by-state overview of college completion outcomes within the sector overall (Tables 1, 7, 13). In addition, results are included with sets of tables showing completion rates by state for students who were 24 years old or younger at first entry to college (Tables 5, 11, 17), who were over 24 years old at first entry (Tables 6, 12, 18), and whose enrollments were exclusively full time (Tables 2, 8, 14), exclusively part time (Tables 3, 9, 15), or included both full- and part-time enrollment (i.e., mixed enrollment) across the six-year study period (Tables 4, 10, 16). Tables showing first completions across state lines are also provided as a fourth section within the results (Tables 19, 20, 21). Appendix A<\/a> lists coverage rates for each institution type within each state. Further context on how the state-level results were derived is available in Appendix B<\/a>, which provides unique student headcounts by state and institution type.<\/p> As presented in Completing College: A National View<\/em>, the overall six-year completion rate for first-time degree-seeking students who started college in fall 2006 was 54.1 percent, including 12.1 percent who completed at an institution different from their starting institution. In other words, more than one in five students who completed a degree did so at an institution other than the one where they first enrolled \u2014 a situation that renders their successful outcomes invisible within traditional graduation rate calculations. The number was closer to one in four for traditional-age students and more than one in three for those who started at public two-year institutions (see Table A<\/strong> below for national results on six-year outcomes by starting institution type).<\/p> <\/p>![\"Signature](\"https:\/\/nscresearchcenter.org\/pubproof\/wp-content\/uploads\/WP-Sig4SSBlock-150x150.png\")
