It depends on the institution, but at open enrollment universities and community colleges it can be really alarming.
Some majors like womans studies, psychology, and communications....
Pretty worthless majors.
I agree, but that's a different issue. At time of admission, schools have a very good idea of a student's odds of completing a degree. They wildly mislead low probability students about those odds and then encourage them to take on as much financial aid as possible.
I remember starting my major with 93 students, was down to 29 by the time we graduated.
That’s pretty much the norm
Well, maybe for my major.
I dont know how many of them ended up dropping out.
I know some transferred majors.
It’s been a while since I checked these numbers, but only a little over 1/3 of students graduate.
I didnt think it was that low.
Imagine the 2/3 that are saddled with debt and no degree.
Is it really that high?
I dont think financial aid should ne given to some subjects...some need to die out.
