An Academic Coach Makes All the Difference

AsAccording to a Stanford study, college students who receive academic coaching are more likely to stay in college and graduate.

Professor Eric Bettinger of Stanford’s School of Education and doctoral student Rachel Baker found a 10 to 15 percent retention rate increase among students who had coaches and mentors to assist them in their college careers.  The study looked at 13,500 undergraduate students at eight colleges and universities.
