Why 5-Year Aggregates?
To ensure anonymity: Our Master's programs have relatively small numbers of graduates in a given year. Individual student outcomes would be identifiable if the data were disaggregated by both year and program.
The data are more meaningful: Master's students do not move through their programs in true cohorts; instead, they may graduate at different times. Grouping graduates over 5-year periods means that idiosyncratic outcomes are reflected only in the context of more typical outcomes, giving prospective grads a more realistic picture of their own possible career trajectories.
