Negron Pushes Higher University Graduation Rates

Jason Jones, an assistant vice chancellor for institutional research for the Board of Governors, said state universities are doing a better job of retaining students, which is an indicator that the four-year rate is likely to improve over time.
The system-wide retention rate, which measures students who return to school after their first year, has increased from 82.5 percent in 2012 to 86 percent last year, the report showed.
And the system-wide 47 percent four-year graduation rate does not reflect the fact that about 20 percent of the undergraduate degree programs require more than 120 credit hours of classes, which would be the standard four-year degree, Jones said.
The report showed that 63 percent of the undergraduates across the system last year received their degrees within five years.
Also, the report showed significant improvement in the four-year graduation rate since 2009, rising from 37 percent to 47 percent.
In the context of a system that has gained 65,000 students over the last decade to a current total of about 405,000 students, Jones said the improvement in the graduation rate was significant.
"It's hard to get bigger and better at the same time," Jones told the Board of Governors.
Universities are currently measured on a six-year rate for undergraduates receiving their degrees. The new report showed a system-wide six-year average of 66.4 percent through 2015, ranking Florida second among the largest states, trailing only California at 68 percent.
