Key Concepts
What is a Program Provider?
Program providers include public schools, private institutions, non-profits, and EdTech companies, that deliver structured learning initiatives and educational services. These providers operate through various models, including direct instruction, online platforms, and specialized support services for students with specific needs.
What is a Program Completer?
This term refers to students who have successfully fulfilled all requirements of a specific program, such as earning a high school diploma, a bachelor's degree, or a teaching certificate. The term is applied to different levels and types of education, including students who complete a career and technical education pathway, those in degree-completion programs for transfer students, and individuals finishing alternative teacher certification programs.
Why are program completer numbers important?
These numbers help institutions (and prospective students) assess how well their programs prepare students for real-world challenges. A high completion rate often signals program success.
