Lipman Hearne client American Enterprise Institute (AEI) made headlines today with the release of its report Diplomas and Dropouts: Which Colleges Actually Graduate Their Students (and Which Don’t).  The report exposes the dramatic variation in completion rates across nearly 1,400 colleges and universities and found that less than 55 percent of first-time students at the average four-year college graduate within six years. At many institutions, students have less than a one in three chance of earning a degree. Read the press release synopsis or full report, now.
