“Although Catholic colleges and universities have completion rates similar to their private four-year college peers, students who begin at Catholic institutions tend to stay enrolled in their initial institution and reap the benefits of more rapid degree completion than students in other sectors of higher education ,” according to a report by the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities.
