Students Stuck for Four Years to Earn an Associate?s Degree
Updated July 18, 2014

While community college is less expensive than attending a four-year institution, students who drag out their degree programs lose much of that savings in additional tuition, fees, textbooks, and lost wages. In this article, we examine the reasons why some students take so long to graduate.
