Select custom reports, not "state profiles" in order to get the number in the cohorts.

Notes

Year refers to year graduating from college, not year graduating from high school.

It includes students who graduate from high school during the year 6 years prior to see if they have subsequently graduated from a four-year college.  It includes students who graduate from high school during the year 3 years prior to see if they have subsequently graduated from a two-year college.

So, for the four-year bachelors the percent who graduated in 2015 refers to the cohorts of students who graduated from high school in 2009. For the students graduating from a two year school in 2015, these are the high school graduates of 2012.

Data available 2009 -2015, Data uploaded June 2018.
