President Lindgren's Column

Our leader at Randolph-Macon, President Lindgren, wrote a column for the Richmond Times-Dispatch, published Sunday, January 11. He comments on the affordability and the value of a private, liberal arts education. There are some interesting statistics included. A study by the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (NAICU) shows that nationally, 79 percent of all graduates from private institutions earn their bachelor's degrees in four years or fewer compared with 49 percent of those from similar public institutions. See what other interesting facts are included.

The column is currently on R-MC's website: http://www.rmc.edu/News/09-01-11%20-%20Private%20Colleges%20Affordable.aspx.
