Time to Completion
Over the last seven years, the average time to completion for Forest 's students is 4.29 years (median = 4). The breakdown of time-to-completion for graduates over the last seven years is as follows:

                         Less than 5 years         74.4%
                         5 years                           18.0%
                         6 years                             4.2%
                         7 years                             2.5%
                         More than 7 years         0.9%

However, the trend in recent years has been toward longer time-to-completion with the 2007 graduating class completing as follows:

                         4 years                        44.8%
                         5 years                        28.9%
