Emily Ramage represents Lindsey Wilson, AIKCU for 15 to finish Program is statewide effort to get college students to finish college in minimal amount of tme Click on headline for complete story with photo(s) By Duane Bonifer News from Lindsey Wilson College FRANKFORT, KY - Lindsey Wilson College student Emily Ramage of Columbia took part Wednesday in a statewide campaign urging college students to finish college in a minimal amount of time. Dubbed "15 to Finish," the campaign urges full-time college students to complete a full 15-credit schedule each semester, or 30 credits a year, the standard course load that will allow students to graduate on-time in four years. Ramage said she made the choice to take a minimum of 15 hours each semester during her college career because even though she loves college life at LWC, "I viewed staying in more than four years as a speed bump to my future." Ramage said she will finish on time despite having to help her mother through chemotherapy and being active in a number of campus activities during her college career. The "15 to Finish" campaign is a collaborative project of Kentucky's colleges and universities and the Council on Postsecondary Education. "Kentucky's nonprofit, private colleges and universities have always emphasized timely graduation so that students can move on to the workforce or to graduate school or whatever's next," said AIKCU President Gary S. Cox. "We're happy to join CPE and our friends at KCTCS and the public universities to spread this message to students and families throughout the commonwealth." While the private colleges in Kentucky have an aggregate six-year graduation rate that is roughly comparable to the public universities, students are currently more likely to graduate in four years from a private college. Three out of four first-time, full-time students who graduate from a Kentucky private college do so in four years. The "15 to Finish" campaign is a key strategy of a larger student success effort to increase high-quality degrees and credentials, increase graduation rates and close achievement gaps in Kentucky. The initiative is part of a nationwide effort promoted by Complete College America, an organization whose mission is to increase the number of Americans with career certificates or college degrees.
