Of all associate degrees earned in 2008-09 that were reported to the National Student Clearinghouse, 488,046 were found to be the first postsecondary credential earned by a student. Forty-one percent of these students went on to earn a bachelor\u2019s degree within six years. Over 60 percent of students who earned associate degrees at 20 years of age or younger went on to earn bachelor\u2019s degrees within six years, the highest percentage of any age group. Analysis is based on degree records reported to the Clearinghouse through its DegreeVerify service.

The mean number of years from associate to bachelor\u2019s degree completion was 2.8. Analysis is limited to bachelor\u2019s degrees earned within six years of the associate award date. Calculation of mean time-to-degree excludes students taking longer than six years.<\/p>\n

Of all certificates earned in 2008-09 that were reported to the Clearinghouse, 201,493 were found to be the first postsecondary credential earned by a student. Almost 26 percent of these students went on to earn an associate or bachelor\u2019s degree within six years. About 31 percent of students in the >20 to 24 age group went on to earn higher credentials, the highest percentage of any age group. Twenty-nine percent of women who earned a certificate as their first credential went on to earn higher credentials, compared to 23 percent of men.<\/p>\n

Analysis in this report is based exclusively on credentials reported to the Clearinghouse through its DegreeVerify℠ service. This applies to both the first postsecondary credential earned, as well as subsequent associate and bachelor\u2019s degrees. Results are not adjusted to account for DegreeVerify participation rates.<\/p>\n
The National Student Clearinghouse Research Center has estimated that credentials reported through DegreeVerify account for 68 percent of all educational certificates awarded by U.S. Title IV, degree-granting institutions, 77 percent of associate degrees, and 86 percent of bachelor\u2019s degrees. These estimates are based on IPEDS counts of postsecondary credentials for all U.S. Title IV, degree-granting institutions. It should be noted that many certificates are also awarded by institutions classified by IPEDS as non-degree-granting, but these institutions generally do not participate in Clearinghouse services.<\/p>\n
Analysis of subsequent associate and bachelor\u2019s degrees is limited to degrees earned within six years of the student\u2019s first postsecondary credential. Therefore, calculation of mean time-to-degree excludes students who will eventually earn credentials in seven years or longer. Including these students would increase the mean time to subsequent degree.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that many certificates are also awarded by institutions classified by IPEDS as non-degree-granting, but these institutions generally do not participate in Clearinghouse services.<\/p> Analysis of subsequent associate and bachelor\u2019s degrees is limited to degrees earned within six years of the student\u2019s first postsecondary credential. Therefore, calculation of mean time-to-degree excludes students who will eventually earn credentials in seven years or longer. Including these students would increase the mean time to subsequent degree.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[147,125,152,165,171],"tags":[135,140],"class_list":["post-4162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-147","category-completions","category-national","category-postsecondary","category-snapshot-report","tag-pathways","tag-two-year"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nscresearchcenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nscresearchcenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nscresearchcenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nscresearchcenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nscresearchcenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4162"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/nscresearchcenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4162\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":75461,"href":"https:\/\/nscresearchcenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4162\/revisions\/75461"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nscresearchcenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8683"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nscresearchcenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nscresearchcenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4162"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nscresearchcenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Download](\"https:\/\/nscresearchcenter.org\/pubproof\/wp-content\/uploads\/pdf_icon.gif\"){kind=icon}
