Good grades? Good test scores? Good job! You're one of the lucky few who qualify to get into a four-year college. Now comes the hard part…staying there.
Of the students who entered four-year colleges in 1997, only 54 percent earned a degree within six years. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, a third of American college students dropped out in the year 2000. And the vast majority of students who drop out never return to complete their education.
Many factors are involved in the high incidence of college dropouts, including stress, depression, homesickness, sleep and/or eating issues, alcohol and/or drug use, and various other pressures. Addressing these issues before and after starting college can not only ease the transition to an unfamiliar environment but help students excel in their personal and academic lives.
Thrive Research has taken a vast body of clinically validated research and worked with Stanford University’s Behavioral Sciences Department to create online solutions that teach behavioral skills to improve the academic and personal performance of students age 13-22.
