I forgot the other thing that should be considered. What is the overall graduation rate for each university? It is more of a perspective thing, and gives a better idea of how far off from the “common” student a particular program is doing.
I had written in my other blog back in August about graduation rates at Ohio’s public universities — and finding myself in the uncomfortable position of defending tOSU. The numbers aren’t going to be perfect since they are different studies and slightly different time scales, but they do base on a 6-year period to graduate. Overall, at Pitt, the graduation rate is around 65%.
Obviously, the football and basketball are still lagging, but perspective helps.
