Description
Meaningful graduation rates are critical to assessing and improving higher education. The Department of Education has tracked those rates since 1988. However, the data collected is limited to the graduation rates of first-time, full-time students who enter and graduate from a single institution. Given the increasing mobility of the country’s student population, it is no longer typical to matriculate to and graduate from one institution. In 2013, the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) launched Student Achievement Measure (SAM) as an alternative to the federal method of measuring graduation rates. SAM is a more accurate measurement system that tracks student movement across institutions and sectors to demonstrate each institution’s contribution to a student’s progress and educational attainment. With renewed Corporation support, APLU will expand SAM models and infrastructure and continue outreach, promotion, and coalition-building.
