AI and Analytics to Improve University Retention Accenture

When students arrive on campus they have every intention of graduating with a degree that will help them pursue their goals. Unfortunately, many will not finish their degree, and in the US a staggering 40% will fail to complete their four-year degree in the next six years. For students, graduating successfully can have a transformational impact on their lifetime earnings and career satisfaction. For institutions, increasing retention rates improves rankings, reputations, and financials. But above all, I think there's a more fundamental reason to address retention: it's simply the right thing to do.
