Iowa Tops Nation in Graduation Rate

The state of Iowa’s six-year graduation rate from four-year public universities is the nation’s best, according to the National Student Clearinghouse. Within six years of enrollment at Iowa, Iowa State, or UNI, 68.9 percent of students complete their bachelor’s degree at one of those institutions. 

In addition, 81 percent of Iowa, Iowa State and UNI students – and 92 percent of full-time students – complete their education after starting at a four-year public institution; also best in the nation.
