Student Progression and Attrition in College: Does Race Make a Difference?

Abstract
Preliminary findings from a study of black student retention and progression, as reported by eight public and private universities to an Institutional Data Questionnaire, are examined. They show that, overall, white students perform better than black students in terms of attrition rates, tendency to follow the prescribed progression pattern, and time to graduation. However, the relationships change significantly when the racial composition of the institution is considered. HE 015 320 28 pages MF $1.17 PC $5.39
