THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO IS MAKING PROGRESS ON ITS GRADUATION RATE FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS. IT'S UP BY 3 PERCENT FOR 2013. THE REPORT SHOWS 48-POINT-2 PERCENT OF STUDENTS GRADUATED WITHIN SIX YEARS THIS YEAR … UP FROM 45-AND-A-HALF PERCENT IN 2012.
UNM OFFICIALS CREDIT EFFORTS TO MOVE STUDENTS THROUGH THE UNDERGRADUATE PROCESS FASTER. BUT THEY'RE WELL AWARE THAT THE UNIVERSITY STILL LAGS WAY BEHIND THE NATIONAL AVERAGE FOR PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS … WHICH IS ABOUT 57 PERCENT.
