While Cal State’s graduation rate has improved, Black, Latino and Native American students still lag far behind other student groups.
California State University is only partially meeting its bold plan to graduate 40% of its students who started as freshmen by the end of four years. In newly released data this week, the system saw its four-year graduation rate inch to an all-time high of 36.2% this year — more than double the graduation rate it posted in 2013.
