“…The top left panel of the figure shows that the rates of college enrollment rose for both genders over this period, but the rise was faster for women than men. This rise in college enrollment involved both increased rates of enrollment in community colleges (Snyder et al 2006) and a more academically diverse population opting to enroll in higher education. 6 Both of these processes probably contributed to the declining odds of completing college, given college entry, for black men and women, which is evident in the bottom left panel of Fig.…”

The Black Gender Gap in Educational Attainment: Historical Trends and Racial Comparisons

et al. 2011

It is often asserted that the gender gap in educational attainment is larger for blacks than whites, but historical trends comparing the black and white gender gap have received surprisingly little attention. Analysis of historical data from the U.S. census IPUMS samples shows that the gender gap in college completion has evolved differently for whites and blacks. Historically, the female advantage in educational attainment among blacks is linked to more favorable labor market opportunities and stronger incentives for employment for educated black women. Blacks, particularly black males, still lag far behind whites in their rates of college completion, but the striking educational gains of white women have caused the racial patterns of gender differences in college completion rates to grow more similar over time. While some have linked the disadvantaged position of black males to their high risk of incarceration, our estimates suggest that incarceration has a relatively small impact on the black gender gap and the racial gap in college completion rates for males in the United States.

“…For example, while nearly all adolescents are enrolled in school (96.4% of youth aged 14 -17 years in 2002), no single institution serves such a large percentage of young adults [10]. Whereas three-quarters of young adults have completed high school and at least some postsecondary education, one in seven are disconnected from activities leading to financial independence, being neither in school, the work force, nor the military and having no degree beyond a high school diploma or GED (ages 18 -24, 2000) [11,12].…”

“…of Hispanic students are currently enrolled at 2-year colleges, compared to 42% of White students (Snyder et al 2006). While 2-year institutions serve many functions, a very important one is the transfer of students seeking an undergraduate degree from a 4-year institution.…”

Hispanic Student Success: Factors Influencing the Persistence and Transfer Decisions of Latino Community College Students Enrolled in Developmental Education

2009

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study examined the impact of a set of theoretically-derived predictor variables on the persistence and transfer of Hispanic community college students. Early models of student persistence have been validated primarily among 4-year college students. While the constructs have been well-established, the relationships of those relevant factors remain unexamined among community college transfer students, and specifically, among Hispanic students enrolled in developmental coursework and planning to transfer from a community college to a 4-year institution. Logistic regression analysis was used to test the hypothesized conceptual framework on an existing set of quantitative persistence data drawn from a national sample of Hispanic students.
