<p>Do small schools make it harder for students to graduate on time?
Look at the 4-year graduation rates of the 100 schools (mostly mid- to large-sized universities) in the Kiplinger “Best Values in Public Colleges” list. The range is 12% to 87%. Then look at the 4-year graduation rates of the 100 colleges in the Kiplinger “Best Values in Private Liberal Arts Colleges” list. The range is 42.6% to 91.3%. For private universities, the range is 29.8% to 90.5%.</p>
