Higher education is in a state of crisis! College budgets are becoming a challenge to balance. Expenses are continually increasing in an environment of declining enrollments, endowments, and government support. The stop-gap solution for decades was to increase tuition--this is no longer viable. Students, parents, donors, and government agencies are scrutinizing the cost and return on investment of a college education. Colleges are under pressure for their underperformance of only graduating 40% of students on time while the national student debt is skyrocketing. Addressing the issue of approximately 2 million students that start college annually and drop out provides colleges with an opportunity to turn the crisis around. Finish in Four introduces a model that provides an approach for developing strategic solutions in ten key areas to improve on-time graduation rates and reduce student debt. This will result in improved fiscal stability for America's struggling colleges. A must-read for all college stakeholders and students selecting a college.
