Why Wait? Early College, National & Local

Season 22 Episode 52 | 57m 11s

A discussion on early college, its present and future, in national and local contexts.

In 2015, Cleveland Metropolitan Schools had a 69.1 percent graduation rate, compared to a national average of 78 percent. Bard’s first cohort at its Cleveland location graduated at a rate of 100 percent, with 80 percent earning an Associate of Arts degree at graduation. If an early start means a better chance for success in college, we ask, why wait?
