More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Low graduation rates and excessive time to degree have cost implications for students, institutions, and the state and raise fundamental questions about priorities. This report examines graduation and time-to-degree rates at 10 Illinois public college and universities; the potential factors affecting graduation and timely completion; and the issue of improving educational quality, and graduation and time-to-degree rates without adversely affecting access to and diversity within public universities. Tables display the proportion of all first-time freshmen who graduate within specific time frames, as well as the proportions by gender within three racial/ethnic groups: Black, Hispanic, and all other students. An appendix provides statistical tables revealing the proportion of first-time freshmen graduating at each Illinois public university campus. These tables show cumulative graduation rates ranging from a high of 77.8 percent to a low of 16.7 percent. They also reveal that, among the students who do graduate, the proportion who graduate within 4 years ranges from a high of about 66 percent to a low of approximately 14 percent.
