Interpretation of graduation rates


[QUOTE=""]
How could students not graduate after 6 years? Even Cal Poly SLO, the most selective campus has only 29% of students graduating in 4 year? Do they drop out, transfer out?

Some run out of funding, some get jobs that don’t require a degree, who knows. The state schools still often have commuters. Some commuters will work full time and go to school part time.

Yale has a 98% grad rate. That says as much about who Yale enrolls as it does about what Yale does with its students

Exactly…and with their amazing aid, students don’t typically have to work a lot during the school year, so they can focus on school and graduate in 4 years.
