| Title: | College Attainment Four-Years After High School |
| Description: | This report is an in-depth analysis of National Longitudinal Study of 1972 respondents who went to college, who dropped out, who returned, and who graduated on schedule. The information presented is descriptive of the college careers of young adults about four and one-half years after high school. Most of the tables and figures focus on socioeconomic status, race, and sex differences in the college attainment process, after controlling for ability level. Careful attention is given to which students entered two- or four-year colleges and the resulting consequences. This report also gives special attention to the part-time students. |
