| Abstract | Data on short-term (first-year) and long-term (four-year) retention in the University System of Georgia are presented. This report shows the first-year retention rates for all first-time, full-time freshmen students who entered a University System institution in the fall quarter of 1986. The aggregate 1-year rates for the system as a whole, for each institutional type, and for each individual institution in the system are presented. Those persistence rates are further broken down into developmental studies and regularly admitted freshman subcategories as well as black and "all other" race subsets. In the same basic format, multiple-year retention rates are presented. Major study findings include the following: (1) more "all other" race than black students are retained from the first to the second year; (2) universities have the highest first-year persistence rates as a group, followed in order by senior colleges and junior colleges; (3) attrition is substantially higher in the first than in subsequent years; (4) the first-year overall retention rates of 30 of the 33 units in the University System (as of 1984) were higher in 1987 than in 1984; and (5) of the same 33 system units, only 18 increased their 1-year retention rate from 1985-86 to 1986-87. Eight appendices are tables showing 1-year and four-year retention data for universities, senior colleges, two-year colleges, and system and group totals. Contains 21 references. (SM) |
