Education Trust Releases College Results Online: Similar Institutions Aren?t that Similar When it Comes to Student Success
Among the schools highlighted in our report:
-- St. Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas, where 75 percent of students are Latino, has an overall graduation rate of 63.3 percent ? a rate that exceeds that of similar schools and is higher than many other Hispanic Serving Institutions.
-- Florida State University, which has virtually closed the gap in graduation rates between African-American and White students.
-- Alcorn State University, a Historically Black College in Mississippi, which has improved its six-year graduation rate significantly in recent years -- to the point that it is about 10 percentage points higher than the median rate of similar institutions.
-- The University of Northern Iowa, which consistently has one of the highest graduation rates in the nation among public, Masters-granting institutions. Its six-year graduation rate was 65.1 percent in 2003. The median graduation rate at its 25 most similar institutions was 53.3 percent.
These are results on a comparison btw SWAC schools.
