A major indicator of success at Texas A&M by state officials has improved a little.
Monday’s meeting of the A&M Faculty Senate included a review of the recently completed study of the university’s four year graduation rate.
Associate Professor Julie Harlin, who chaired the committee, says A&M ranks second in the state, but is behind peer institutions around the country.
Dr. Harlin says 56 percent of first time and full time freshmen finish in four years, compared to a goal in the low 60’s. She also reported 86 percent graduated in six years.
Harlin called on all faculty members to be advocates for finding creative solutions to allow students to complete degrees as soon as possible.
