At a community college in the state of Florida, student retention has become a critical concern because more than half of the first-year first-generation students fail to graduate.

Shea, Peter; Bidjerano, Temi – Online Learning, 2019

Alice Li – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2021
Despite increases in college enrollment, college completion rates have not kept up, at both 2-year and 4-year institutions.
