<p>My college had similar stats. But it was primarily a commuter college and most students were working part-time and many were working full-time and going to school at night. Those students often took 7-10 years to finish a degree - especially if they had families.</p>
<p>Later on, when I worked for the college, the graduation rate issue came up at a meeting. I did a study for the College of Business that showed that over 75% of students who enrolled in the CBA eventually graduated. The focus was not on the length of time it took - but whether or not the students completed their degrees. In the end - that’s the number that really counts.</p>
