Major Progress in Black Student Graduation Rates at Top-Ranked Colleges and Universities

Filed in Degree Attainments, Racial Gap, Research & Studies on November 10, 2014

Here at JBHE, we have always been particularly interested in how Black students are succeeding at our nation’s highest-ranked colleges and universities. At these high-ranking colleges and universities, Black students generally do very well and in many cases have graduation rates that are very close to those of their White peers. At a few of the nation’s top-ranked schools, the Black graduation rate is actually higher than the rate for White students. It is very encouraging that the Black graduation rate has improved at many of the top-ranked schools and the racial gap in graduation rates has narrowed.


JBHE research has found 15 high-ranking colleges and universities that have Black student graduation rates that have averaged over 90 percent over the past four years. The highest rate is at Harvard University, where 97 percent of entering Black students earn their degree within six years at Harvard. At Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, the Black student graduate rate is 95 percent. B****s at Yale University graduate at a rate of 94 percent and Princeton University, Colby College, and the University of Pennsylvania have Black student graduation rates of 93 percent.

There are five high-ranking colleges where the Black student graduation rate is equal to or higher than the rate for White students. It is interesting that three of these five schools are women’s colleges: Wellesley, Bryn Mawr, and Smith.

Among the high-ranking national universities, Harvard has a Black graduation rates that is only one percentage point below the rate for W****s. At Washington University in St. Louis, the Black graduation rate is two percentage points below the rate for W****s. Duke, Emory, and the University of Pennsylvania have Black graduation rates that trail the White rate by only three percentage points.

A decade ago, only five of these top-ranked colleges and universities had Black graduation rates of 90 percent or more, compared to 15 today. That is impressive progress. In 2004, 15 of these high-ranking colleges and universities had racial graduation rate gaps of more than 12 percentage points. Today, there is only one.

just care

I for one never thought b****s were stupid. All I ever said was that the one leading the country is. There are smart and stupid people of all races. You need to let this sink in. Its not his race that pisses people off. Its him!

to "just care": that's it. But the progressives (c*******ts) will hear (or read) what they want to hear, so don't be surprised when the insults come.

You're right but I don't have much time or patience for them.

Excellent post for a change. Black achievement is best for America. Expanding the welfare state is not good for America.

You define yourself.

It's not the right that holds b****s down and keep a them on their porch.

VladimirPee

Au Contraire my friend. Conservatives do not benefit from a dependent African American community. Democrats are the ones who need you to remain dependent.

KH has been stuck on the race card since his savior was humiliated in the e******n.

Hating others doesn't make you happy. Sucks to be him.

VladimirPee

Dave they just don't get it. Even in terms of partisan politics. The few B****s who do v**e GOP are more successful and affluent. Poor b****s never v**e GOP. It is in the party interest to see more African Americans become successful and less dependent on government. It is in Democrats best interest to keep them down and keep offering them a carrot with another handout.

Super Dave Loc: Realville, USA

Agreed.

The most loyal Democrat is a person that needs government to survive, because they're either unwilling or unable to work.

If you get a person palm up and head bowed, you've got a Democrat.

**I know, the right keeps w****s dirt poor in trailer parks and cars with confederate f**gs...thinking they are better than others....**

Of course there are white Democrats.

Is there a chance that one who thinks there is nothing rational to offer as a possible explanation for all those great colleges who get only the best black students enrolled and then graduate them, quite possibly because of their race. I have to tell you that I would like to see the federal money that finds its way into those schools' coffers as compared to 10 years ago. Don't we have a couple of Ivy League graduates living in the White House now that just may have been in my group?

Keep finding those good sources and failing to link us to them so that you can swing the things to where you can use them. Why don't you ever make it easy for us to read your links? Maybe you are working with that Gruber man who thinks we are all stupid. I guess that can't be since he didn't say anything about which race has the most stupid people, just that we are all stupid.
