| Abstract | This study applies competing risks survival analysis to describe outcome attainment for an entire cohort of students who first attended a Midwestern community college in the Fall Semester 2001. Outcome attainment included transfer to a four-year institution, degree/ certificate attainment from the community college under study, and transfer to a different two-year college. The analysis also shows how the technique can be used to categorize students who have not realized a graduation or transfer outcome. Outcome probability at different points in time (13 semesters) is calculated and discussed. The effects of demographic and academic variables on timing and type of outcome attained are also discussed. Findings from the study show that outcome attainment was widely distributed over chronological time, there were three discernable stages of outcome attainment across number of semesters enrolled, and cumulative grade point average (GPA) was the most prominent effect on outcome. (Contains 2 figures and 5 tables.) (As Provided). |
