Community college attrition of GED certificate holders and regular high school graduates : a comparative study using national BPS dataLong, Angela C. 06 May 2004 (has links)
This study was purposed to extract, collate, and statistically format data contained in
the national Beginning Postsecondary Students (BPS) Longitudinal Study: 1996-2001
database that pertained to persistence and attainment rates of GED recipients who began their
postsecondary education at a community college during the 1995-96 academic year. The
primary objective was to reckon the attrition rate of GED recipients during their first year of
enrollment (FY 1995-96), and to measure degree or certificate attainment rates of that
particular cohort of GED enrollees at the end of a 6-year study period (FY 2000-01).
Several significant findings related to the academic prowess and characteristics of a
cohort of GED students who enrolled in public 2-year educational institutions during the
BPS:1995-96 study period are presented in this study. One of those findings is that the
attrition rates of the GED recipients and the high school graduates who concurrently enrolled
full-time at community colleges during the 1995-96 academic year were closely proximate
by the end of their first year of enrollment (52.6% HS dropout rate versus 54.8% GED
dropout rate). Another interesting finding is that accumulated GPAs of GED recipients who
participated in the BPS:1996/2001 and who persisted through their first academic year as
full-time enrollees in community colleges were slightly higher than their counterpart
BPS:1996/2001 cohort of high school graduates who concurrently enrolled at community
colleges.
The statistical data reported in this study were garnered from a database administered
by the US Department of Education; however, because this study presents its findings in the
form of raw, unweighted data, it does not statistically reflect national representativeness. / Graduation date: 2004
