My child is at Lawrence and they have a popular dual degree program where you get your bachelor's in music and bachelor of arts/science in 5 years.

Also, given that the average 4-year graduation rate is 33%, I'd say these are some dang impressive numbers! Thanks for sharing!  :thumbup: [/quote]

So trolly PP pointed out that 33% is the average 4 year rate for public schools, so, sure, fair. For private schools it’s 53%. All but 5 of the private schools on this list are above it, and One of those five has a major continuing Ed program so isn’t even targeting students who you’d expect to graduate in 4 years anyway. And the remaining ‘below 50%’ school has 195 total students. So, even among private schools: impressive.

And yes, UVA’s grad rates are high. I don’t think anyone here is knocking UVA or Harvard or Michigan or whatever. These are not peer schools for the CTCL.
