Ten years ago, GSU's graduation rate hovered around 32% and was especially low for their growing population of low-income students. In 2011, GSU leadership implemented a plan to improve student outcomes, with government funding tied to these improvements.
GSU saw an opportunity to target resources through structured, data-driven interventions such as class redesign, supplemental instruction, first-year learning communities, and retention grants. In 2012, GSU partnered with EAB and extended this data-driven approach to academic tutoring.
GSU tutors use EAB to help students make smarter decisions, reduce time to degree, and lower their risk-contributing to a 3% increase in graduation rate since 2012.
