Again, if the dominant factor in the low 4yr graduation rate is because of co-op, then I view that more favorably than if the dominant factor is the inability to get the classes you need when you need them.

As a matter of fact, I think that co-op is so valuable, that if co-op is the dominant reason, then I would favor Wisconsin over those with higher 4 yr graduation rates that don’t offer co-op. Co-op gives an engineering student a perspective that contributes to improved performance in their classes and having accomplished something to put on a resume can lead to a better job out of school.

I just don’t know the facts with regard to which is the dominant factor in the low graduation rate.
