[COPLAC-IR] Request from Bill Spellman...

[Miller,James L]

Bill,
We do not, because our "n" counts are small and because at our university, students declare their major at different times, so it's difficult to establish a legitimate freshmen cohort by major.  We are trying to determine what metrics should be used to examine departmental success, but we have not yet solved this one.

Subject: Request from Bill Spellman...

Dear COPLAC Colleagues:

One of our member institutions is studying rates of graduation by major and I have been asked if any other COPLAC campuses collect this data.

If your campus gathers this information and you would be willing to share, I would be very grateful. The more recent the data the better in terms of this study.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Bill
