Covering Innovation & Inequality in Education
A school’s graduation rate can indicate how likely a student is to complete their degree. At MTI College, over the last five years 72% of students earned their associate’s degree within four 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 MTI College.
| Demographic category | Graduation rate at MTI College | National average |
|---|---|---|
| American Indian/Alaska Native | 60% | 31% |
| Asian | 77% | 48% |
| Black | 53% | 35% |
| Hispanic | 74% | 45% |
| Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander | 56% | 25% |
| White | 75% | 51% |
| Multiple races | 73% | 36% |

Student retention, or how often students return to continue their degree after completing their first year, is another helpful indicator. Over the last five years, at MTI College, about 82% of full-time students returned the following fall to continue their degree.
The size and demographic makeup of a school’s student body can have a large impact on a student’s experience. MTI College has 2,158 students, which puts it in the {SIZE_PERCENTILE} percentile of for-profit, 2-year schools.
About 78% of students are female.
And about 30% of students are hispanic.
