The Education Portal Blog recently posted an interesting article on why students do not graduate. The post cites a Public Agenda study that explores the different reasons why students do not finish college. According to the study, students who leave school before completing a degree program list school and employment conflicts as their number one reason for leaving.

I think the post touches on an important point: it is essential that students be realistic about how much they are going to be able to handle before enrolling in a degree program--particularly a business degree program. Academic demands can be considerable, and if you need to hold a job while you attend school (as many people do), the demands can be overwhelming.

In addition to being realistic about time commitments, students should also:

• Consider alternative programs. Part-time programs or online programs may provide more flexibility than traditional full-time programs.
• Research programs before enrolling. Students who do not select a program suited to their needs are more likely to quit.
• Evaluate readiness. Students who go to school or go back to school because it is something someone else wants them to do are less likely to finish.
