Percentage distribution of 1989–90 beginning postsecondary students with a reported degree objective according to their persistence and attainment of that degree objective by 1994, by student status

NOTE: Degree objective means having ever had the specified degree objective. Therefore, it is possible for a student who changed objectives to appear more than once in the table. For example, a student with an initial objective of a bachelor’s degree who changed his or her objective to an associate’s degree would appear under "changed degree objective" in the bachelor’s degree section of the table and would also appear in the associate’s degree section. Percentages may not add to 100.0 due to rounding.
