The Northeastern Graduate Profile examines graduates and their demographics to celebrate those who have earned an award. This profile does not follow any particular cohort, although several cohorts of students are included within this data.
The data in this report matches the 2023 Degrees Granted report filed August with the Colorado Department of Higher Education; and is also used to complete the IPEDS Completion Survey.

Of the 349 graduates, 21% (75) were previously high school concurrent (also known as dual enrollment) at Northeastern prior to becoming new college students. Twenty-four percent (24%) of this group earned 25 credits or more before becoming new college students.
In AY 2023, 19 students who were still in high school received awards. Four (4) of these, were high school juniors who earned certificates.
Graduate Demographics
Forty-three percent (43%) of graduates came from Northeastern service area counties of Logan, Phillips, Sedgwick, Washington and Yuma. This percentage has decreased from 53% in AY 2022 and 49% in AY 2021.
Forty-two percent (42%) came from other areas of Colorado and 14% came from out of state or were international students.
For AY 2023, the percentage of female graduates was significanlty higher at 59% than for male graduates which was 41%. In AY 2022, females had earned just 36% of all awards while males earned 64%. For AY 2023, female and male graduates both earned 50%. When measuring CTE and Transfer awards, females earned 40% of AA, AS, and AGS awards and 60% CTE; while males earned 28% of AA, AS and AGS awards and 72% CTE awards.
Of the 349 graduates, 95 (27%) were of Students of Color. This compares to 22% for AY 2022 and 24% for AY 2021.
Of this group, Hispanic students are the largest ethnicity with 69% (n=95).
Students of Color earned 142 awards in AY 2023, this is an increase from 122 awards in AY 2022.
Students of Color represented 27% of all graduates and earned 27% of the awards. This is an improvement over AY 2019 through 2021 where this group earned less awards than their percentage of the student population. These percentages for the past two years appear to show that diversity efforts are moving in the right direction.
Of the 142 awards earned by Students of Color, 34% were Associate of Arts, Associate of Science and Associate of General Studies; 14% were Associate of Applied Science and 52% were certificates. These percentages more closely reflect the overall percentage of awards earned by all completers which is a welcome improvement.
Eighty-three percent (83%) of AY 2023 graduates were age 25 and under, the remaining 17% were Adult Learners.
Of the 349 graduates, 36% were students that were eligible for Pell grants and 52% identified themselves as first generation (meaning their parent(s) or guardian(s) did not earn a Bachelor degree).
Conclusion
In AY 2023, the number of Northeastern graduates (completers) was slightly higher than in the previous year. With 520 awards earned, this number is lower than the previous four years.
Though this report does not follow any cohort of students and only focuses on those who have graduated, areas of this report show student success gaps narrowing. The percentage of Students of Color earning awards has increased, the number of awards has increased and the percentage of AA, AS, and AGS awards has increased as well. The percentage of awards earned by gender has become more equitable than the previous year with females and males both earning 50% of the awards.
Possible areas of concern moving forward are that males only represented 41% of graduates and are earning less transfer awards, and although females earned an increased number of awards, the percentage (50%) is still lower than the overall percentage of female graduates which was 59%.
Following up on AY 2018 graduates who transferred out to other colleges and universities shows that many students who transferred have earned Bachelor and Master Degrees, which is evidence of Northeastern’s mission in helping graduates to continuing achieving their educational goals.
Northeastern continues to work toward closing equity gaps while continuing to face the challenges of a changing higher education landscape.
