A dash means the Department of Education suppressed the figure because too few graduates were measured — not zero. 1 more programme at this college has every figure suppressed and is not listed. These figures are calculated for all 19 campuses that share this college's federal student-aid ID, so a branch campus shows its institution's figures.
