That can't be right?

Then again there is a silver lining there. At least they aren't just pretending to succeed as many colleges do now.

Yeah,

Langston University, an HBCU in Oklahoma, has a relatively low graduation rate. For first-time, full-time students, the four-year graduation rate is about 5%, while the six-year rate stands at 9% and the eight-year rate is 10%(College Factual).

The six-year graduation rate improves for non-first-time students, reaching around 45%( CollegeVine).

These figures are lower than the national average, reflecting some of the challenges the institution faces in student retention and completion.

40%? nice.

The national average graduation rate for U.S. colleges and universities is around 63% for students who complete their degrees within six years at four-year institutions. This figure varies significantly based on factors like institution type, student demographics, and state or region.

So the best of the best HBCU is still average.

Harvard University has an exceptionally high graduation rate. As of recent data, the six-year graduation rate is approximately 98%. This reflects the university's rigorous academic support and the high caliber of students who attend.
The four-year graduation rate at Harvard is also impressive, typically hovering around 87% to 89%, well above the national average for U.S. institutions.

Why are you trying to turn the KKK away from Trump? You know he needs their vote, don't you?

Ok so this "4 year graduation rate" is the percentage of students who pursue a 4 year degree and actually graduate on time, i.e. taking full courseload and passing every course.

Well then I'm not surprised. I was imagining 95% quit without a degree.

That is the grift now, "forever students" are the cash cow of the fraud universities. The government steals wealth, gives it to "students" who will never repay it, the students give it to universities and the universities want more money not more graduations.

Every year they are there is overhead. Bureaucrats, statistics about the number of students, dorms, food, and that's assuming all courses are truly necessary and the teaching is effective. They aren't punished for failing students when the students just turn around and sign up for the same course next semester.


Productive people are the primary victims, the forever students who don't know how to do anything after wasting 8 years of their life and having 100k of debt (in theory) are the secondary victims, the university is the accessory to the crime, and the state is the perpetrator.

Looks like Langston's entrance exam is a pie eating contest.
