Student Achievement Data

Students are at the center of 91心頭利 actions. The academic success of students is 91心頭利s highest priority. The college identifies student achievement data as metrics on retention, graduation, job placement, and industry-based credential/licensure attainment for applicable programs.

This data is benchmarked with IPEDS national data and compared with state data from the 16 colleges making up the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS). 91心頭利 performs regular review of data, with the review following WTCSs Effective Use of Data Framework within its review processes.

Data is updated every September (after State Reporting for the previous year is final).
