Fifty-six percent were males, racial minorities comprised 15%, and the median age was 24.4 years. Women and minority graduates increased five and two percent respectively over the study period. More than 50% earned Associate of Applied Science degrees in equal proportions for men and women, although more men overall earned diplomas while women opted for certificates.
