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

[Julie Rao]

Good morning,

On page 69-76 of our Fact Book, https://www.geneseo.edu/webfm_send/2666, 
I show the graduation rates by program for the 2000, 2001, 2002, and 
2003 entering cohorts.  About 1/3 of our incoming students come in 
undeclared, so looking at graduation rates by program makes sense for 
us, even if they don't graduate in the same major they started.
