Declining by Degrees: Higher Education at Risk

Declining by Degrees: Higher Education at Risk (2005) is a documentary film directed by John Merrow.

Debunking commonly held notions about the rite of passage known as the college experience, this PBS documentary follows 30 students and their teachers along the path of higher education, from admission to graduation, and exposes the disappointment, disorientation and deflation many students feel -- in both public and private schools. This revealing study also addresses the quality and readiness of America's future work force.
