Urban versus Rural: Part-Time Enrollment
Copeland, Michael; Tietjen-Smith, Tara; Waller, Lee Rusty; Waller, Sharon Kay
Community College Enterprise, v14 n1 p67-78 Spr 2008
The researchers examined part-time enrollment within public two-year, degree-granting community colleges by the degree of urbanization classifications of city, suburban, town, and rural for fall 2003 and 2005. Findings indicate no statistical differences in part-time enrollment between city and suburban institutions. No statistical differences were identified between town and rural institutions. City and suburban institutions were found to have statistically higher percentages of part-time enrollment than their town and rural counterparts. No statistical changes in percentages of part-time enrollment were identified when comparing fall 2003 and 2005. Implications of these findings are discussed. Suggestions for future research are identified. (Contains 6 tables.)
