Covering Innovation & Inequality in Education
A school’s graduation rate can indicate how likely a student is to complete their degree. At Reformed University, over the last five years 100% of students earned their bachelor’s degree within six years of enrolling.
Students from different demographic backgrounds often graduate at different rates, so it can be helpful to look beyond the overall graduation rate. This chart shows how students of different races and ethnicities fare earning their degrees at Reformed University.
| Demographic category | Graduation rate at Reformed University | National average |

| Hispanic | 41% | |
