Evidence of CSUN’s Educational Effectiveness: Selected Data Sources
Bettina J. HuberDirector of Institutional Research
Preparing for the Second WASC Site Visit9 September 2011
Overview
• Gains in Undergraduate Persistence• Transfer Students• First Time Freshmen
• Talking to the WASC Visitors
A Comparative View of Persistence at CSUN
• Data Sources• Multi-year campus-specific CRSDE persistence data• Multi-year CSU data on FTF proficiency at entry
• Persistence Measures Examined• One-year continuation rates• Proficiency at entry (FTF only)• Graduation rates (6 years for FTF; 3 years for FTT)• Likely graduates: students who have graduated or are still
enrolled at a fixed point after entry (e.g., 3 years or 6 years)
A Comparative View of Persistence at CSUN
• CSU Campus Groupings Examined• The system as a whole• Large campuses (n=6)• Los Angeles Basin campuses (n=5)
• Subgroups Examined• Two gender groups• Four racial and ethnic groups
Racial and Ethnic Subgroups Considered
• Traditionally Underserved Students• American Indian• Pacific Islander• African American• Latina/o
• Better Served Students• Asian• White• Other and Unknown

Questions or Comments ??
Key Data Points: Transfer Students
• Have among the highest three-year and likely graduation rates in the CSU
• Have among the highest one-year continuation rates in the CSU
• Traditionally underserved and better served students perform equally well
Key Data Points: First Time Freshmen• Strong gains in persistence to graduation during
the last decade• Traditionally underserved students have gained
disproportionately, but still lag better served• CSUN freshman graduation rates remain
among the lowest in the system• The one-year continuation rate has declined in
recent years• The continuation rate remains among the
lowest in the system
We must help our poor freshmen!
We are failing them!
