We're not too shabby either:

4 yr. 79.3%
5 yr. 88.3%
6 yr. 89.3%

I know of a few reasons why the numbers are like that:
1) Engineering Co-Ops...many do them and graduate 1-2 semesters later
2) 3-2 Bachelor's/Master's in Engineering program...so it takes 5 years (there's one in Architecture too)
3) Dual Degree students cannot mathematically graduate in 5 years...there are too many requirements for them to do for their majors as well as for their school (For example, my very close friend is getting a BFA in Painting and a BA in History with a minor in Biology--she had to fulfill all requirements of the school of Arts & Sciences as well as the Art School which really take a long time since I know that her Painting Studios took up large amounts of time so she couldn't take tons of classes b/c she needed to paint about 30 hours a week).

Still not too shabby...but then again, I did go to a private university. I think that makes a big difference since private schools tend to cost more and have less students (meaning that classes aren't impossible to get into and people try to leave as soon as possible so they don't rack up too much debt).

Well NAU, much of the time known as Not A University...

4 years 26.7%
5 years 46.9%
6 years 51.8%

This does not surprise me at all, as 22.4% of the students are over the age of 25 and there are many other non-traditional students...

I also find this interesting too, because there is also a large 3 year program at NAU to help students graduate in 3 years to save on money and get out to the real world (or grad school)...

Marquette University

4 year - 55.7
5 year - 74.4
6 year - 76.4

I think so many people are 5-years because of all the co-ops and a core curriculum that makes it very difficult to double major and get out on time.

I'm sure the chart I copied and pasted will get messed up, but here is the 4 year graduation stats compared with similar institutions. I still have no idea how Dartmouth costs that much given it's in the boonies.

4 Year: 81.7%
5 Year: 86.1%
6 Year: 87.1%

I'd like to see the six year rate go up ALOT.
