Abstract
After several years of intense public focus on the need to improve K-12 education, more attention has turned recently to what happens when high school graduates move on to college.
Students, parents, and lawmakers are asking whether undergraduates are getting adequate value for their investments of time and money,
particularly as college and university tuition keeps rising. Employers are expressing concern
about whether some graduates are adequately prepared for the world of work. Demographic pressures in some states also mean that institutions have to find places for more students, even though state appropriations to many
public institutions have been cut or are barely increasing. In addition, legislators and policy experts are pressing institutions to make it possible for students to complete degree
requirements in a reasonable period of time and worry that significant dropout rates at some colleges and universities may reflect a waste of
public resources spent on those students.
