Wow, Southern University = 4% graduation rate.

That's not a university, that's a waste of time and money.

If TSU has a 4% graduation rate...just how does the Legislature allow it to stay open?

[UNTflyer]

Texas Southern is 13.3%. I was talking about Southern U in New Orleans, the worst school on the list.

[Mean Green 93-98]

But did you notice how exclusive TSU is? They only have a 36% acceptance rate.

I'm sure there are a lot of fine young women there that are working their way through nursing school.

Not to rain on the parade of black college bashing or anything, but the four-year rate at UNT is 19%.

The article is the percentage of people completing their 4-year degree within 6 years, though. UNT's 6-year graduation rate is, I believe around 48%.

You are correct...UNT grad rate in 6 yrs is 400% higher....and really...this is TSU...not exactly quality.

Does TCU count fully for our bowl eligibility?.. I seem to remember that a even FCS schools need to have a certain amount of players on scholarship to count for bowl eligibility, even if you only play 1 FCS team

in 2010 the THECB has the 4 year graduation rate for TSU at 3.6% the 5 year at 9.5% and the 6 year at 14.9%

for north Texas it is 24.7%, 49.5%, and 57.4%

the 6 year rates with persistence (student is still enrolled) are 31.4% and 70.6% so they close the gap somewhat over the longer time period.....the state does not collect data to see how long total it takes them to graduate or if the actually do after 6 years

TSU should be closed and the land turned over to UH and TSU merged with UH Downtown (that also has pathetic graduation rates) and they can call it any name they wish (they should call it Houston Metropolitian University) and it should remain under the UH system......that would get rid of the redundency of having one very poor state school next to one very good state school while haing another very poor state school only a few miles away in downtown Houston and it would also cut down on overhead and administration at two very poor universities and it would get rid of the corruption that is rife at TSU that leads to their poor performance and lack of accountibility and it would get rid of one of the 4 independent universities in Texas

add in giving north Texas-dallas to DCCCD and you have cut down on two unneeded and poor performing universities in Texas out of 36 total
