  • Students who started at and graduated from Missouri Southern State University are represented by the darker purple bar with the solid black bar underneath (). (This section of the chart Within 6 Years is approximately the same as the federal graduation rate, but it may differ slightly for each institution.)
  • Students who started at Missouri Southern State University and then transferred to and graduated from another institution are represented by the lighter purple bar with the white stripe underneath ()
  • Students who started at and are still enrolled at Missouri Southern State University are represented by the darker aqua bar with two white stripes underneath ().
  • Students who started at Missouri Southern State University and then transferred to and are still enrolled at another institution are represented by the lighter aqua bar with the bottom white stripe ().
