Hazard Model Analysis of Community College Outcomes

No 201823, Working Papers from Geary Institute, University College Dublin

Abstract: Community colleges serve a diverse set of students, from recent immigrants studying for citizenship tests to students looking to transfer to four-year institutions. Relative to continuous enrollment, the three most common outcomes for students are to graduate, transfer to a four-year institution, or drop out without either of the previous two outcomes. We use a competing-risks hazard model to jointly model the determinants of these three outcomes for Kentucky two-year college students. Our results highlight the importance of multiple factors such as working while enrolled, financial aid, demographics, and having a GED.
