Research Release: The Finishing in Four Years Fallacy: 4-year versus 6-year

On the Dec 5th, 2023 at 2pm join the To&Through Project and UChicago Consortium for the release of a new research brief and student stories series focused on CPS graduates' time to college completion. Presenters will share insights from the new research brief “The Finishing in Four Years Fallacy: 4-year versus 6-year Bachelor’s Degree Completion Rates.” The report examines the extent to which four-year completion rates differ from six-year rates to determine whether the focus on six-year rates may be limiting the ability of students, families, counselors, and higher education institutions from having more complete information in making decisions about college enrollment and students’ experiences. This event will also feature a brief panel discussion from recent CPS graduates currently navigating their college degree.
