[quote=Anonymous]Professor here. To add to what others have said, a solid graduation rate suggests reasonably good advising (yes, I know this varies a lot) and a curriculum that together give students clear paths to completion. It suggests the school has structures in place so that it is aware when students are struggling and, as PPs said, supports them appropriately. It suggests a school that is committed to outcomes and not just to bringing in as many tuition-paying bodies as possible and not worrying about what comes next. It suggests good planning on the part of the school for the resources needed for four organized years of undergrad.[/quote]
