<p>... for a school such as LU. I believe I saw that it was 62 pct. Anyone have any ideas why?</p>
<p>I know it is still above the nat'l avg, but below similar mw lac's with strong music programs:</p>
<p>olaf 80
IWU 76
oberlin 71</p>
<p>One reason may be that many of the conservatory students seem to be on a 5 year plan; a conservatory/liberal arts double major.</p>
<p>that sounds reasonable. So I assume that the other three lac I cited do not have that kind of degree?</p>
<p>I looked at Fiske's Guide - he reports the 6 year grad rate (I do not know why the heck he reports THAT; why the heck would we want to pay for another two years of undergraduate COA?? -</p>
<p>6 yr grad rate</p>
<p>LU 73</p>
<p>olaf 84
IWU 82
oberlin 85</p>
<p>LU's still lower than its comps for some reason. But still better than Nat'l avg ( I guess).</p>
<p>That's interesting... I wonder what admissions take is?</p>
<p>maybe someone can ask admissions, since we are in the middle of other kinds of questions with them...</p>
<p>Does it include transfers and drop outs or only drop outs? I've known of a few people who dropped out usually for personal reasons, but sometimes it's because they can't handle the academics. LU isn't easy!</p>
<p>can you expand on how LU is not easy academically? What is the typical homework workload, for example? I am speaking of a an english and psychology dbl major. how do-able is that, would you reckon?</p>
<p>There's lots of reading, I'm always assigned lots of reading. I've never taken a psychology or english class but from friends I know they have to spend a couple hours or more every day reading, more if they are working on a paper or presentation.</p>
