  49. Master’s and PhD graduation rates, 2009Sum of graduation rates for single year of age Note that the OECD’s use of the term ""graduation rate"" does not correspond to the concept of a graduation rate used by provincial and territorial governments in Canada. OECD uses the term ""graduation rate"" to refer to the number of graduates (of any age) as a share of the population at the typical age of graduation. This is how the term is used in this report. This should not be confused with what OECD calls a ""completion rate"", and what in Canada is more commonly referred to as a graduation rate, which reports on what percentage of a group of students starting a program have completed it (or graduated) within a certain time frame.
