Python/R-based program with GUI that uses data mining techniques (clustering/classification) to predict success/failure trends of students based on course choices along with retention information. Goals: * Identify common course taking patterns for first-time, full-time freshmen. * Predict student retention based on the identified course clusters and pre-existing risk factors. * Tools that can be used by academic advisors to better aid in enrollment decisions.
