Glen, Thank you very much for your reply. While I don’t see the 70% number you quoted, I did see this on the link you provided:
“First-Time / Full-time Students at SUNY Maritime Represent 85.7% of the Class of 2013 and 81.8% of all Their Bachelor's Degree Graduations.
With a four year graduation rate of 25.0%, first-timestudents in the SUNY Maritime class of 2013 who attended classes full-time had a graduation rate similar to the national average. After six years, the graduation rate was 48.0% and by 2017, 51.0% of this class had completed their degree.”
Both schools have a similar retention rate at 85% and 87% respectively.
I am very interested in understanding if the gap in graduation rates is really that large.
