"First-year seminars, bridge programs, and a host of useful interventions are designed to help boost the persistence rates of students who are just beginning their degree quest. These initiatives should not be discounted, but—particularly in a time of limited resources — it is critical to focus interventions strategically. That means also looking at interventions for students who are near to completion."
