Graduation Rate

43% of full-time students enrolled for the first time to North Carolina Central University completed the education program and got a degree in 150 percent of the expected time of completion.
The graduation rate value includes only programs that were completed less than six years for four-year degrees or less than three years for two-year degrees.
Graduation rate is the percentage of institution’s new-entering, first-time, first-year undergraduate students who complete their program within 150% of the published time for the program. Graduation rate excludes a huge number of students. This indicator doesn’t take into consideration students of nontraditional enrollments - part-time students, students who enroll mid-year, and who transfer from one institution to another. So graduation rate alone can create a misleading picture. Completion rate in the form of total number of students receiving any types of awards/degrees creates a complete picture. Combining this data with graduation rate is a better way to compare schools.

Student Reviews and Ratings for North Carolina Central University
Overall Rating:
I am absolutely excited to be an Eagle. I havw been with this school since 2013, transferred and came back. Eagle excellence at it's best. The school environment is filled with positive vibes and people who genuinely care about you. The professors are the most down to earth, and caring professionals that I have come across. They send weekly encouragement to the students. I have watched and seen this hbcu grow and develop, I am extremely excited that they have now added two additional distance ed undergrad degrees. This hbcu understands the importance of education with balancing life. I would not have chose it to be any other way than to be an eagle at NCCI. I love nccu. nccu truly breeds Eagles. It has help shaped and build my confidence to peaking levels. " the eagle is no common, ordinary barnyard fowl, excellence is on the horizon. " I wish much prosperity to this higher institution.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™NCCU prepares its students for success in all walks of life. I am a double eagle (Undergraduate / Graduate Degrees). Upon graduating, I had several jobs lined up in addition a network of professors that was dedicated to teaching me anything that I needed and wanted to know. Beautiful Environment and City as well. You will not regret going here. 6 Stars
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Worst graduation ever. How you make to many tickets?!? Hot mess. Unc and duke probably don’t have this problem. Mothers crying because they can’t see their child graduate. All this money we have paid. Man hbcu gotta do better
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Horrible business they never answer the phones I tried every department damn near and they never answer I left messages and they never answer back. How do you run an institution with out communicating with people trying to enroll they are a bunch of stupid ASSES
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™I attended North Carolina Central University and graduated in May 2009 debt-free with a B.A. in English (writing concentration). I was a member of three honor societies and president of the college radio station; I graduated with honors. In fact, the career center helped me gain my first government position as a student technical writer. This is a great school and I'm glad that I had the opportunity to attend an HBCU.
