Retention Rates for Freshmen Who Enrolled in Kentucky Public Colleges in Fall 2010, by Race and Ethnicity

August 26, 2012

With the exception of Kentucky State University, all four-year public universities did better than that, with retention rates ranging from almost two-thirds to more than three-quarters.
