Abstract:
|
This paper addresses some of the problems with the limited amount of research that exists regarding the relationship between community college enrollment and educational attainment. Special attention is given to the inherent bias toward traditional, four-year college student models. Using NCES's BPS longitudinal data,logistic regression analyses test existing theories on two separate subsamples: four-year college students and community college students. This analyses demonstrate the extent to which existing theories of college departure, or “drop-out,” might apply differently to community college student populations when compared to four-year college students. |
