This paper reviews a study of persistence patterns of first-time first-year students during 1986-90 in all public senior institutions (n=35) in Texas. The study provides data to assist student affairs practitioners to evaluate their own attrition problem and to compare and delineate their patterns from a statewide perspective. (GLR)
