摘要

In academic year 199293, more than 1.1 million students received bachelors degrees from 1,809 U.S. institutions of higher education.1 A nationally representative sample of that population, consisting of 10,080 students attending 648 institutions, was surveyed in their last year of college and again 1 year after graduation. This report uses those data to provide a detailed profile of the population of 199293 bachelors degree recipients, with particular attention to the amount of time taken to complete the degree, an issue of intense interest to students, parents, policymakers, and administrators. In recent years, the amount of time required to complete a bachelors degree has attracted considerable attention as rising costs have increased the financial burden of undergraduate education on families and taxpayers (through their support of public institutions and state and federal financial aid programs). Delays in degree completion can be problematic for the individual, the institution, and society. For instance, individual costs involve additional tuition, foregone income while enrolled, and reduced long-term earning potential; institutional costs involve reduced ability to forecast future enrollment and to meet new enrollment demand, because of fewer spaces for new students; and social costs involve reduced efficiency of public investment in higher education, since it takes longer to realize returns on public dollars invested in support of undergraduate education.
