在中國念大學，基本所有學生都能按時畢業。但去美國讀本科可不一樣，拿到錄取通知僅僅是入門，怎麼適應美國大學的學習和生活，達到學校的要求按時畢業才是關鍵。
■ 那麼究竟美國大學的畢業率是多少呢？
網站College completion，專門統計每年全美國各大學的畢業率。據統計每年有總共1750萬大學生正在就學，但其大學生畢業率是發達國家中最低的。
《紐約時報》曾發表了一篇名為《中國難題》文章，指出有5%的中國學生在大一課程開始前，就已從語言課程中退學。
「 有一位在讀名校的留學生說：他在讀的工程專業，全美排名前五。從大二進入專業課開始，每年都淘汰40%的人。真正最後能畢業的不到20%。而其餘專業不合格的80%的人，眼看著畢不了業，都想法轉校或者轉專業 。」學術能力是影響畢業的最大原因，我們拼命刷分考上大學，卻不知道在大學如何度過。
芝加哥一所私立大學校董曾向美國父母作一個調查：你是希望自己的孩子在耶魯抑鬱還是在亞利桑那大學開心？
結果，75%的家長寧願他們的孩子在耶魯抑鬱。因為他們覺得孩子可以慢慢平復情緒的困擾。而好大學、好專業才能有前景，犧牲快樂換取錢途，何樂而不為呢？
但是按這樣的心態報考大學，然後在大學裡遇到的學習問題就當然不可避免。據調查，中國學生在國外最容易遭受退學的專業中，理工科與經濟商管成了重災區。這些專業是熱門專業，學術上要求會更加嚴格。
一般來說，學生的期末成績和平均成績如果未達到學校的最低要求（本科生GPA 2.0，研究生GPA 3.0），學校會先進行「留校學術觀察」，給予學生一個學期的時間提高成績，擺脫黑名單。但如果一學期結束，再一次上榜，學校就會發出退學通知。學生們的學籍信息系統裡，就會寫上：「Disqualified不合格」或者「Dismissed退學」。
前方預警：為避免此類現象的發生，此處插播一條「廣告」，推薦有此顧慮的同學和家長們新東方前途出出國美國本科的學術先修項目！

除了課程難度，影響畢業的還有哪些因素呢?
■ 學術誠實
美國大學對於抄襲是絕對「零容忍」，對於作業和考試要獨立完成。在美國的課堂裡，一般情況下小夥伴們一起討論、寫作業都是不被允許的。主要的學術誠信問題分為這三類：
由哈佛大學的處理數據可以看出，國外大學對學術誠信問題相當重視，學校對於作弊行為，都保持著零容忍的態度，對於參與作弊的學生，學校會採取嚴厲的措施。
■ 團隊合作
美國大學課程幾乎採取的是Teamwork、Groupwork的形式，這裡需要培養團隊合作、溝通能力，對於中國學生來說，是比較大的挑戰。而且也會有組員之間的相互評分（Peer evaluation），評分計入總成績。
■ 課堂積極
在課堂上要踴躍提出自己的想法，參與課堂討論，不能一味地逃避，中國學生要鍛鍊自己的能力。課堂表現佔據成績的一部分。
U.S.News對於美國大學的4年畢業率進行了排名，果然越難進的學校畢業率越高。大家可以一起來看看，你的學校排在哪裡呢？是不是榜上有名呢？
