<p>Ruppy, Did you ever get an answer/explanation from the source? I just read an article that discussed this very issue (though not specifically about Oberlin). That article linked to a “microsite” within the website for The Chronicle for Higher Education. The information here ( [Institution</a> | College Completion](<a href=“Student Outcomes”>Student Outcomes) ) shows a 4 year rate of less than 50%. Even accounting for double degree students, that seems off. Of note: this website has a comparison feature - including the ability to make a custom peer group.</p>
<p>The odd thing about this chart is that although the data is current - for 2010 - if you look at the historical chart, there is a tremendous drop from 2009 where the 4 year rate was 72%…(which is about average for all the other years past). So I have to wonder what happened in 2010 and has it been addressed?</p>
