Report: Texas Colleges Should Graduate Students Faster
"Fewer than one-third of Texas students entering four-year universities graduate within four years, according to a new report from Complete College America. Fewer than one-sixth of students complete community college in two-years. Over the course of five years, more than $440 million in state appropriations and grant aid goes to university dropouts, as well as more than $60 million in federal grants. Each year, Texans earn $57 million worth of college credits that are not needed for their degrees.
The report offers what it calls "game-changer strategies" to improve those numbers. Some of those are already being implemented or considered in Texas, though the authors conclude that Texas has "not fully" embraced these proposals — at least, not yet."
