How to read these numbers

Total Graduates counts the students who completed the Liberal Arts and Sciences/Liberal Studies. credential during the 2024 academic year, not those currently enrolled or applied. A cohort of this size usually signals a well-established, in-demand offering with a steady annual pipeline of graduates. The gender split is based on completers in this single award year and can shift meaningfully year to year — especially in smaller cohorts — so read the percentages as a recent snapshot rather than a fixed property of the program. The $5,550 figure is the published annual tuition and required fees — what the school officially charges before financial aid. Most students pay less once federal Pell grants, state aid, and institutional scholarships are applied, so treat this as a starting point rather than an expected out-of-pocket cost. Because every accredited college reports the same fields to IPEDS each year, you can compare Des Moines Area Community College's figures against similar programs at other schools on a like-for-like basis.
