<p>In order to assist some in their college search process, I have prepared a series of threads that will compare colleges on a variety of measurements. In making these comparisons, I have created three broad groups (private national universities, public national universities and liberal arts colleges) and provide comparisons involving 117 colleges (national universities ranked in the USNWR Top 75 and LACs ranked in the USNWR Top 40). </p>
<p>Following is a comparison on GRADUATION RATES for HISPANIC STUDENTS. The results, using the 2008 NCAA Federal Graduation Rate data, are for the entering classes of 1998-99, 1999-2000, 2000-01, 2001-02 and their average six-year graduation rates.</p>
