Note: The drop in graduation counts after 2019 reflects both the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the introduction of PLU’s PLUS Year initiative. This program, created in response to the pandemic, offered full-time undergraduate students enrolled in the 2020-21 academic year an extra tuition-free year. As a result, many students opted to extend their studies beyond the typical four-year timeline, shifting graduation numbers into later years.
