Career Pathways: A Strategy to Increase Black and Latino Four-Year Graduation Rates

by Robert Cherry & Emily Horowitz - April 05, 2013

Their surveys and interviews provide evidence that the NYC-area Catholic colleges offer a model to schools wishing to improve graduation rates among minority and first-generation populations.
