Credential Classification & Durations

Institutions are grouped into rows by their predominant degree level, and each school's ROI uses that level's program length: one year for certificates, two for associate degrees, four for bachelor's. A school that mostly awards certificates or associate degrees but also awards longer degrees is still priced at the shorter length, while its earnings include graduates of the longer programs. When that pushes its Social ROI to 1,000% or its Pell ROI to 250%, the school carries a warning.
