Good morning,<br>
<br>
On page 69-76 of our Fact Book,
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.geneseo.edu/webfm_send/2666">https://www.geneseo.edu/webfm_send/2666</a>, 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. <br>
