Relationship between Graduation Rate and Retention Rate_2
PurposeThe main purpose of the current research study is to identify the relationship between thegraduation rate and retention rate. Online education is the new segment in education industry andit became very difficult for existing firms to retain students. The results that will be generated inthe research study will help one in identifying the impact that retention of students has on thegraduation percentage. In this regard regression analysis of the variables will be done.BackgroundWith passage of time online education trend is increasing consistently. It is assumed thatthose educational institutes that will retain graduates for further studies will be able to attractmore students for graduation programs. Current research study is testing this assumption.Completion is increasing in the education industry as many new colleges are opened that areproviding facility of online study to the students (Webber and Ehrenberg, 2010). It becomes veryimportant for the educational institutes to retain students that are currently doing a graduation incollege for master’s degree. If in the college retention rate of relevant students will be high morestudents would like to take admission in the college for graduation program. It is important tostudy the relationship between retention percentage and graduation rate. Thus, for this regressionanalysis model is used to explore the relationship among the variables. Research methodIn order to conduct current research secondary data is taken in to account that is related todifferent colleges that are providing online education to the students. in order to identify andunderstand relationship among the retention rate and graduation percentage regression model isused in the present research study. By using regression model output forecast about specificvariable will be done in the report. Thus, it can be said that statistical tools are basically used toanalyze the data. Apart from inference statistics descriptive statistics is also used to analyze thedata in better way. On the basis of results of descriptive statistics mean value of the variable willbe identified. Moreover, the extent to which results deviate from mean value will also be foundout. This will reflect whether most of colleges are giving same results or there is difference insame. Maximum and minimum value of the variable will also be discovered. In this way invaried ways data set will be analyzed in better way in the current research study.
