! Given changing demographics, our country will not have enough skilled Americans to compete unless many more students from all backgrounds and walks of life graduate.
Graduation rates are very low, especially if you’re poor, part time, African American, Hispanic, or older.

Associate degree graduation rates are abysmal across the country — for Hispanic and African American students, they’re tragic.
Almost no one over the age of 25 graduates; students fresh out of high school are most likely to succeed.
In most states, very few students seeking certificates ever graduate.

! Even modest progress provides little comfort when overall graduation rates are so low.
More time isn’t giving us enough success.
For certificate and associate degree students, graduation rates are very low … even when students take more time.
On-time graduation rates for bachelor’s degree students are shockingly low. And adding time beyond six years produces little additional success.
