Retention, Graduation, and Transfer Rates at Maryland Community Colleges [2013]
Maryland Higher Education Commission
This report provides information on the retention, graduation, and transfer rates of first-time, full-time students entering Maryland community colleges between 2000 and 2010. The report examines retention and graduation data for students within two, three, and four years after matriculation into a community college. The Appendix contains tables detailing retention, graduation, and transfer rates for the state as a whole and disaggregated by gender as well as for the largest racial and ethnic groups. Data on students at each individual community college are also presented for two groups: all students and African American students. The first section of the report provides an analysis of statewide retention, graduation, and transfer rates within four years following initial enrollment, including analysis by gender and by race/ethnicity. This section also examines trend data on retention, graduation, and transfer from the 19 cohorts for which complete data are available (1990-2008). The second section examines student success through the Degree Progress Analysis model. Data for all 16 community colleges are available beginning with the 2001 cohort of entering students. The third section of this report includes highlights of a survey of community college graduates. The Maryland Higher Education Commission, in collaboration with the community colleges, conducts a triennial follow-up survey of recipients of certificates and associate degrees. The survey includes questions about the graduates' experiences at the community college, perceptions of the quality of education received, post-graduation educational enrollments, and employment.
