I don't believe that Columbus State would fall under those parameters since it's a community college. Where does Columbus stand in terms of people who go on to pursue other degrees after receiving their bachelors?

Touche, good point about Columbus State, I didn't read that part. But what about the other universities?

I believe it should be noted that the link you provided states that "Ohio State graduation rate continues to climb -- The university's six-year graduation rate has risen to 68 percent; up from 55 percent just five years ago." That may not stand in the schools favor if it's being compared to institutions where the percentage of students graduating are just as high but they are doing it in less time (four years v. six years).

Because there is no specific information available about how the study was conducted and how the information was gathered, I still take issue with the findings, hence all the conjecture.
OTOH, maybe I'm making much ado about nothing. Considering it was an MSN article, I probably should be taking it with a grain of salt. IMHO MSN articles read like something out of a high school or college newspaper; lots of fluff, no real substance.
If your city was represented in the article, congrats!
