41	Mastering the Admissions Game: Understanding the Enrollment Priorities and Recruitment Strategies of Master's Institutions Schulz, Scott Andrew January 2006 (has links) Although master's institutions enroll a substantial student population in the United States, a large percentage of which are minorities, relatively little has been written with regard to how master's institutions approach enrollment management. This mixed methods study examines the enrollment priorities and recruitment strategies of master's institutions to reveal how master's institutions are prioritizing their commitments to institutional quality, access, and financial stability, the types of recruitment strategies these institutions are utilizing to uphold their commitments, and the impact of these recruitment strategies, particularly upon issues of access. The study also makes use of a theoretical framework informed by academic capitalism theory, game theory, and institutional theory to explain why master's institutions may be prioritizing certain enrollment goals and adopting particular recruitment strategies. Findings from this study suggest master's institutions may be embracing market-oriented enrollment behaviors that prioritize revenue maximization, consequently reinforcing the advantages of the privileged and serving as vehicles for social reproduction. enrollment management admissions master's institutions recruitment

48	A plan for the reorganization of attendance areas in Calaveras County Bernasconi, Melvin 01 January 1950 (has links) From time to time there ha s been considerable discussion regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the attendance areas as they have developed in Calaveras County. Occasionally a change has been made and a school has been closed for lack of pupils or two or three school districts have been merged in an effort to strengthen the educational program for those districts but no study has ever been made with the purpose of placing schools in the county from the standpoint of building a sound and strong educational program for all children. This is the first study that has been made along these lines. Education
49	Associate's Degree Attainment for Dual Enrollment Versus Non-Dual Enrollment Students at a Rural Mississippi Community College Lawrence, Tonya B 06 May 2017 (has links) In line with the national trend, Mississippi faces the same challenge that fewer students are completing college degrees. In response to the national call for more degrees, many states have implemented dual enrollment programs to try to decrease the transition anxiety between high school and college, which could possibly lead to more college degrees. This study will add to the very limited body of quantitative research relating to the relationship between students participating in dual enrollment and college degree completion at rural Mississippi community colleges. With an increased focus on a higher number of college graduates, this study could provide information for rural community colleges in Mississippi in regards to retention of dual enrollment participants through obtaining a degree. The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not there was a significant difference in the number of students completing an Associate’s degree when comparing students who participated in a dual enrollment program to students who did not participate in a dual enrollment program at a rural Mississippi community college. The sample was comprised of 320 students - 160 students who participated in dual enrollment and a comparative group of 160 students who did not participate in dual enrollment - from across the district of the target community college. Participants included students who were enrolled at the target community college in the fall and spring semesters of 2010 and 2011. A Chi-square test for independence was used for all four research questions to analyze the two categorical variables. Results of the study indicate that there is a significant relationship between the participation in dual enrollment and the completion of a degree, AA and AAS, at the target community college. Findings indicate that students who participate in the dual enrollment program are much less likely to complete their degree at the target community college. There is a need to further investigate dual enrollment as it pertains to completion of a degree at a rural Mississippi community college. Read more community college dual enrollment degree attainment
50	A Model to Predict Matriculation of Concordia College Applicants Pavlik, Kaylin January 2017 (has links) Colleges and universities are under mounting pressure to meet enrollment goals in the face of declining college attendance. Insight into student-level probability of enrollment, as well as the identification of features relevant in student enrollment decisions, would assist in the allocation of marketing and recruitment resources and the development of future yield programs. A logistic regression model was fit to predict which applicants will ultimately matriculate (enroll) at Concordia College. Demographic, geodemographic and behavioral features were used to build a logistic regression model to assign probability of enrollment to each applicant. Behaviors indicating interest (campus visits, submitting a deposit) and residing in a zip code with high alumni density were found to be strong predictors of matriculation. The model was fit to minimize false negative rate, which was limited to 18.1 percent, compared to 50-60 percent reported by comparable studies. Overall, the model was 80.13 percent accurate.
