Graduating students in four years saves money for students, parents, and taxpayers.

Students who take longer than four years to graduate not only pay more in tuition, but often lose financial aid and are forced to delay entering graduate school or the workforce.
According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, the average salary offer to a 2011 bachelor’s degree graduate was $51,171. When students take more than four years to graduate, they forgo these annual earnings.
One year’s lost income = $51,171
