How much does a low graduation rate bother you?

Don’t know the numbers of part time students at my son’s school, but the impression is that it was very low. My son took less than a full course load only 2 quarters (out the the 15 he was there for) and one was his last quarter where he was completing his senior project, which had quickly turned into a time sink. So, when he graduated, he had a lot of extra credits in his field of study. I believe these were very helpful in his getting his first job as it made him a more attractive candidate.

School does a rep of having issues with class availablity, therefore the department head comments.

Was complaining a little, but more issuing a warning. You really do have to factor the grad rate into the cost of the college education.
