Like many generations of immigrants before them, Latinos are making their mark on our social and economic landscape. The recent presidential election is a clear case in point. For Latinos, the next big frontier is the college campus.

The dark joke says that alcoholism only starts after college, but new research suggests that those who don’t enroll at all have a higher risk of dev...

While student access remains an important national goal, the knowledge-based economy makes completion of postsecondary education critical.

What if the "official" graduation rate doesn't give the full picture of how many students graduate? As things now stand, the current rate calculation doesn't include students who transfer into a college and graduate.

The "typical" college student has changed. Nearly three out of four college students today aren't enrolled in a full-time, four-year degree program. They're balancing jobs, family and other priorities as they work to complete college.

Students knew my name because it was whispered beneath their breath in class. And I became the center of attention because I was considered "the girl who cried rape."

College campuses are full of long-held assumptions about how academe works. A perilous one for the future of American higher education is that high-school students pick a college, enroll, and -- two or four years later -- graduate from the same institution.

A report to be released on Tuesday by a group seeking to raise college graduation rates shows that despite decades of steadily climbing enrollment rat...

This "celebritization" of higher education may have earned U.S. News a handsome profit over the years, but it says little about how well these institutions actually perform their primary charge: educating students.

WASHINGTON — Vice President Joe Biden says the way to improve college graduation rates is to make high schools more rigorous academically and co...
