I calculate time to graduate by major based on degrees awarded. Students
change major so many times or declare their major late.

I have just completed a time to graduation study by major. My approach was
to begin with the fall2004 first time first year freshman cohort, and track
them. Is this of interest?

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.

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
