Earlier this month, the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) released a report, Measuring Success by Degrees: The Status of College Completion in SREB States, that evaluates college entrance, persistence and completion rates in the 16 SREB states. While the data reported are specific to SREB member states, the policy recommendations to improve college-going and completion are applicable to any state in the nation.
This report follows upon an excellent SREB report released a few months ago that identifies a number of very thoughtful policy recommendations for raising college completion rates. In fact, if you have time to look at only one portion of either of these reports, I'd suggest the appendix of the earlier SREB report (starting on page 19), which lists numerous policy approaches to increase college access and completion rates, and productivity and cost-efficiencies.
