Student retention has been an important concern of institutions of higher learning for many years. WASC Senior College and University Commission introduced the Graduation Rate Dashboard to help evaluators to better link institutional effectiveness with student success.
Critical thinking skills are directly correlated with degree completion and success on professional licensure exams. WSCUC and ACCJC institutions are adding cost effective, valid and reliable Insight Assessment measures of critical thinking skills to their admissions and student retention programs.
