Getting Students to Graduate: The National Context Thomas Bailey National Center for Postsecondary Research Community College Research Center Teachers College, Columbia University Presented at Higher Education in Michigan: Looking Back and Looking Ahead Ann Arbor, Michigan December 10, 2009

What is the Problem? International comparisons Skill needs of the contemporary economy  Some college is necessary for access to decent jobs  Employer needs Continued inequality in higher ed access and completion for low income and minority students

Solution—Increase in Degrees and Certificates Obama Administration  An additional 5 million CC awards by 2010 Gates Foundation  Double the percentage of low-income young people who earn a post-secondary credential by age 26 (from 30 percent to 60 percent) Lumina Foundation  Increase share of population with high quality credentials from 40 to 60 percent by 2050 Cherry Commission  Double the number of graduates with degrees

Community College Degrees have Value in the Labor Market Benefits of an Associate Degree (compared to a high school degree)  Men earn 15 to 30 percent more  Women earn up to 50 percent more Certificates  Positive for women  Uncertain for men Varies by field Earnings benefit of an associate degree is at least half of the benefit of a B.A. Some value in credits even without degrees

Community College Graduation Rates No single definition of graduation rate or student outcomes Student Right to Know (SRK) most commonly available –“Three” year rate for 1 st time, full time, degree seeking students US Rate—22 %

Michigan SRK Grad Rates State graduation rate—15.3% (2004) 2,700 out of almost 18,000 graduate Lowest—Bay Mills—5.7% Highest—Alpena—33.7%

Criticisms of SRK Only full time, first time students The time period is too short Institutional graduation rates count transfers (without graduation) as “non- completers”

Efforts to Increase Graduation Rates? Many definitions of outcomes—shifting role of community colleges Focus on developmental education Institutional Incentives—Washington State Student Achievement Initiative

What is “Graduation?” Transfer programs growing faster than terminal programs Fast growth of certificates, non-credit, and certifications Many intermediate measures of performance consistent with varied goals of CC students
