Diplomas and Dropouts - Which Colleges Actually Graduate Their Students (and Which Do

[hsmomstef]

Just thought I would add in my knowledge of Colorado Christian University -- it is located where I live and I looked into admissions when I was looking at going back to school.

Admission to the school is competitive -- but not in the normal sense we use here at CC. You are required to document your involvement in religious activity for the previous 4 years (what church do you belong to, how long, do you participate in Bible Study, do you volunteer with your church, etc) and provide multiple references from members of your religious community.

The graduation rate doesn't surprise me -- the classes are actually more like University of Phoenix (online, short session, etc) and more than twice as expensive as the University of Colorado here in Colorado Springs. On top of that, they encourage students to take out massive loans right from the beginning and once they can no longer pay they move on to their next victim.
