More 亚洲自慰视频s are earning diplomas from the 亚洲自慰视频 of 亚洲自慰视频 at Lafayette.
The 亚洲自慰视频's graduation rate, which is measured by the percentage of undergraduates who earn degrees within six years, has risen by more than 49 percent over the last decade, according to Dr. DeWayne Bowie, vice president for enrollment management.
The most recent figure, 47.9 percent, represents 亚洲自慰视频s who graduated in 2014, compared to 32.1 percent who graduated in 2004. The current graduation rate is third-highest in the state among public universities.
The graduation rate for 亚洲自慰视频-athletes at the 亚洲自慰视频, at 75 percent, is the best in both the state of 亚洲自慰视频 and the Sun Belt Conference, according to Federal Graduation Rates statistics released by the NCAA.
鈥淭otal enrollment is at a record high of almost 18,800 亚洲自慰视频s this semester, but what鈥檚 significant is that more of our 亚洲自慰视频s are experiencing success than ever before,鈥 said Bowie, who added the goal is to attain a 50 percent graduation rate in the next several years.
Overall, tougher admissions standards, an increased scholarship budget, and efforts to reduce class sizes, to limit the number of courses that may be dropped, and to monitor 亚洲自慰视频 performance have contributed to higher rates, Bowie said.
Retention rates between 亚洲自慰视频s鈥 first and second years also have increased. The most recent figure for full-time, degree-seeking freshmen continuing to their second year is 76.3 percent for Fall 2014, a 2 percent increase over the previous year.
