UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Kansas students take their time
4 years not enough for university grads
The Associated Press
WICHTIA — More Kansas college students spend five or six years getting a four-year degree than graduate on time, university officials say.
"Four years? No one I know is going to graduate in four years," said Adam Schoonover, 24, a transfer student from Dodge City Community College who's in his fifth year at Kansas State University.
Nationally, about half of college students take five years or less to get a traditional, four-year undergraduate degree. The remainder take six years or more—if they graduate at all.
In Kansas, about 39 percent of incoming freshman at the six state-supported universities complete degrees in five years. The low average is due in part to nontraditional campuses, including Emporia State, Fort Hays State and Wichita State, where fewer students attend classes fulltime.
About 44 percent of Kansas students graduate after six years, and the number is higher when transfer students are counted.
Only a quarter of first-time freshman who enrolled in the University of Kansas in 1987 had graduated by 1992. Numbers were lower at other state schools.
Such statistics have been tracked only recently, making comparisons with previous classes nearly impossible, but academic officials agree the
number of four-year graduates seems to be decreasing.
"The straight, traditional four-year undergraduate degree is the exception rather than the rule anymore, and there are a number of reasons for that," said Mike Lynch, assistant vice president for institutional advancement at Kansas State.
The primary one is economic. The more college costs rise, the more students have to work. The more they work, the fewer courses they can take, and that means more time to graduate.
Schoonover said his parents paid his tuition and fees, but he still worked 25 to 30 hours a week to earn money for rent, books and other expenses. Because of that, he takes no more than 12 credit hours a semester.
"My friends, they're all kind of in the same boat," said Schoonover, a business major. "You either work or go way into debt with student loans. It's not easy."
Jeff Weinberg, assistant vice chancellor for student affairs at KU, says delaying graduation is nothing new, although the recent trend may seem pronounced. Students today, he said, are more likely to take additional courses or to participate in yearlong study-abroad programs to make themselves more attractive to employers after graduation.
That may mean learning Japanese, working one summer for an engineering firm in Puerto Rico, or leaving school for a "time of reflection" before finishing an undergraduate degree or starting graduate school Weinberg said.
