Description

Since 2015, the retention rate of first time, full-time students at Jacksonville State University has declined from 78% to 66% in 2021. The office of administration has data broken down by cohort showing social demographic factors and the retention of these students. These factors could be a reason that first time, full-time students are not returning for their second year. This cohort data will be analyzed to help find the reason for the decline in the retention rate. By using python and ArcGIS Pro the data can be broken down further by geographical area.
