In 2024, a record high of around 10.59 million students graduated from undergraduate programs at public colleges and universities in China. That number was more than double as high as the number of degrees earned at all levels of higher education in the United States. The vast number of graduates from Chinese universities originates from the increasing enrollment in colleges and universities across the country. Of the 10.47 million Chinese graduates of 2023, around 4.94 million earned a bachelor's degree, whereas 5.53 million earned a more practically oriented short-cycle degree. On a graduate and postgraduate level, around one million master's and doctor's degree students graduated from public colleges and universities in China in 2023. What are the popular majors? In recent years, the most favored majors among Chinese bachelor students were engineering, management, literature, and arts, while short-cycle degree students chose majors such as finance and economics, medical health, and information tschnology. Meanwhile, philosphy, history, and agriculture, as well as biolological engineering, textile, and water resources were among the least desirable subjects. However, even the popular, highly competitive fields of study do not always guarantee quick and successful employment after graduation. What are the labor market prospects for graduates? The graduate employment rate within half a year after graduation has been generally stable in China over the past seven years, exceeding 90 percent on average. Those that struggle to find a job are usually graduates from less technical, quantitative majors who often lack both practical “hard skills” and “soft skills” such as communication, critical thinking, and managerial abilities. Engineering, technology, IT and science majors top employment rates as well as secure higher-starting salaries. The average monthly salary of a university graduate in China has increased by around 70 percent in the last ten years. However, high rent and costs of living in cities like Beijing or Shanghai often force young graduates to return to their hometowns or to seek employment in the second and third tier cities.

The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) calculates two cohort graduation statistics annually. The Virginia On-Time Graduation Rate defines graduates as students who earn Advanced Studies, Standard, IB, or Applied Studies Diplomas for students who entered the ninth-grade for the first time together and were scheduled to graduate four years later. The formula also recognizes that some students with disabilities and limited English proficient (EL) students are allowed more than the standard four years to earn a diploma and counts those students as 'on-time' graduates.

The Federal Graduation Indicator limits graduates to students who earn Advanced Studies, Standard, or IB Diplomas. And, it does not include any allowances for students that are allowed more than four years to graduate. The FGI is solely used for required federal accountability reporting.

EDFacts Graduates and Dropouts, 2017-18 (EDFacts GD:2017-18) is one of 17 “topics" identified in the EDFacts documentation (in this database, each “topic" is entered as a separate study). EDFacts GD:2017-18 (ed.gov/about/inits/ed/edfacts) annually collects cross-sectional data from states about student who graduate or receive a certificate of completion from secondary education or students who dropped out of secondary education at the school, LEA, and state levels. EDFacts GD:2017-18 data were collected using the EDFacts Submission System (ESS), a centralized portal and their submission by states is mandatory and required for benefits. Not submitting the required reports by a state constitutes a failure to comply with law and may have consequences for federal funding to the state. Key statistics produced from EDFacts GD:2017-18 are from 6 data groups with information on Regulatory Cohort Graduation Rate (Four, Five, and Six Year)-Graduation Rate; Regulatory Cohort Graduation Rate (Four, Five, and Six Year)-Student Counts; Graduation Rate; Graduates/Completers; Regulatory Cohort Graduation Rate-Flex; and Regulatory Cohort Graduation Rate Student Counts-Flex. For the purposes of this system, data groups are referred to as variables, as a result of the structure and format of EDFacts' data.
