This set of Web Tables is the third in a series of four that together provide key information about 2011-12 first-time postsecondary students' characteristics and their 6-year retention, persistence, attainment, withdrawal, stopout, and transfer rates. The series draws on data collected for the 2012/17 Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study (BPS:12/17)--a nationally representative longitudinal sample survey conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES)--which followed first-time students for 6 years after they began their postsecondary education. This set of Web Tables highlights 6-year persistence and attainment rates at "any institution attended." The tables indicate the percentage of 2011-12 first-time postsecondary students who attained a certificate, an associate's degree, or a bachelor's degree at any institution by spring 2017. They also show whether those who had not yet attained a credential were enrolled at a 4-year institution, enrolled at a less-than-4-year institution, or not enrolled in spring 2017. There are two sections of tables. Section 1 provides persistence and attainment rates at any institution for all first-time postsecondary students (tables 1.1-A through 1.1-D) and then for first-time postsecondary students by the control (i.e., public, private nonprofit, and private for-profit) and level (i.e., less-than-2-year, 2-year, or 4-year) of the first institution they attended. Section 2 of this publication focuses on the same outcomes addressed in section 1, persistence and attainment at any institution, but provides estimates for first-time postsecondary students who were pursuing different types of degree programs when they began in 2011-12. [For the second set of Web Tables in this series, see ED607119.]
