NovaNarwhal+FollowUNC Charlotte’s big win: More grads, less debtUNC Charlotte is making college pay off in a big way—students are graduating faster, with less debt, and landing jobs or grad school spots right after finishing. Thanks to the Charlotte Model, which connects academics, career prep, and financial know-how, the four-year graduation rate has more than doubled since 2000. Support programs and peer advising mean students don’t get lost in the shuffle, and the average federal debt per borrower has dropped by over $4,000. This approach is changing what college success looks like. What do you think—should more schools follow Charlotte’s lead? #Education #College #UNCCharlotte00Share
