Abstract | The purpose of this study was to compare the retention, progression, graduation, and attrition rates of first time freshman enrolled in four-year undergraduate programs at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), and Pittsburg State University (PSU), Pittsburg, Kansas. The characteristics of both schools and the limitations of the study are presented in detail. The study found that the attrition rate was greatest between the freshman and sophomore years at both schools, that out-of-state students had a first year attrition rate of 38 percent for PSU and 40 percent for UNR. Other results, such as effects of "stopping out" are discussed, as well as implications for further research and college retention programs. (Contains 18 references.) (MDM) |
