Dr. Button said there are occupational measures, distance from graduation to full-time employment and compare them to both local and national outcomes at one year, three year, and five year outcomes. Also you need to look at the group of students who go to college, finish college, how long it takes them to finish college, switch colleges, etc. Another thing to look at is how many students seek degrees past a four-year degree.
