Beginning college is a challenging, stressful, and yet potentially rewarding time in a student’s life.  Many begin with hopes of a great GPA only to find that their skills are not up to par, the demands of school are greater than anticipated, or the student/professor relationship has friction.
The reasons for leaving college are numerous: family issues, not academically prepared, change of career plans, lack of finances/financial aid, loss of motivation, and dozens more. The college has much to contemplate on this rate, and how it can increase student retention.
Are professors going the extra mile to help struggling students, or is there a general lack of motivation among the students? There are probably as many reasons as there are students, even so, 13 percent is very low. Putting it in perspective, that means that 87 percent of enrolled students leave without a diploma from MATC.
Students at the West Allis campus have their ideas on why this is so, and give their response to the question, “What do you think is the reason for the 13 percent graduation rate at MATC?”
