Colleges are trying to get students to make a course correction
February 28, 2015 /
"The most effective way to limit costs is to limit time toward a degree," said Ronald Berkman, president of Ohio’s eighth-largest public university with almost 18,000 students.
Cleveland State University made a proposition to its students two years ago: Take a full course load of 30 credits a year and get $200 off tuition and a $200 book stipend.
Only 32 percent of its undergraduates finished a degree within six years, if at all. Hundreds of students were slipping through the cracks as the cost of college went up and up — and they took on thousands of dollars more in debt.
