Higher education success for all students is defined by the results that occur once you graduate from an institution with either a two-year or a four-year degree. Educational success in college is not defined by the school’s accreditation, if it is included on a “Best Of” list, or if it gives college credit for prior education classes. Higher education success is measured by the percentage of students that graduate from the school, take advantage of low tuition levels, pay back their educational debt, find employment, and secure a higher post graduation income. In short, college success is the the professional and financial benefit you realize over subsequent years, not the short-lived esteem you experience upon admission. It’s about laying a meaningful foundation for a successful life.
