From the Vice Chancellor
Prior to the 1950s, fewer than two of every ten high school graduates went on to college. Today, more than half of all high school graduates are accepted into college, and the four-year college degree continues to be viewed as the most certain path to personal fulfillment and economic success in the United States.
