Those rates have barely budged since the 1990s. Of the 18, even less will have technical degrees… • 39% of students attending degree granting institutions are over the age 25. Nearly 60% enroll in more than one college or university, and 40% go part time. 68 For every 100 Ninth graders: 40 27 18 9?
