A dash means the Department of Education suppressed the figure because too few graduates were measured — not zero. 3 more programmes at this college have every figure suppressed and are not listed. These figures are calculated for all 12 campuses that share this college's federal student-aid ID, so a branch campus shows its institution's figures.
