This report looks closely at the student retention efforts
of 50 American colleges and universities including the
University of Delaware, Auburn, Sarah Lawrence and Georgia
State University, among many others. The 100+ page study gives
detailed data on retention rates overall and for many specific
categories of students such as distance learning students,
graduate students, part time students, and other
categories. The study presents highly detailed data on
the retention effort including current and planned spending on
consultants, information resources and conferences and
retention staff. The study helps retention professionals
to answer questions such as: what do peers consider to be the
most important elements of a retention effort? How important
is financial aid? Counseling? Tutoring? Student activities?
Early identification efforts for troubled students? Data
is broken out for size and type of college (community college,
4-year, MA/PHD and research university) as well as for public
and private colleges and, critically in this case, by level of
tuition.
