Low 4 Year Graduation Rate... Why?

<p>Anyone have any comments about the just over 50% 4 year graduation rate at Clarkson. It seems quite low… Why so ?</p>

<p>That does seem low. But I think I read the average rate is 60%. </p>

<p>It is common for engineering majors to take an extra semester or two to graduate, especially if they change majors. Most of the time you see graduation rates quoted by 5 year rate. (CO School of Mines shows 6 year rate, but they require 140+ credits to graduate).</p>
