Push and Pull in Community College Cross-Enrollment: Remoteness, Articulation, and Student Mobility

Ashutosh Tiwari, Conrad Borchers, Robin Schmucker, Zachary A. Pardos

Less remote community colleges both send out and receive more cross-enrolling students, and those with higher course equivalency ratios draw even more incoming cross-enrollers.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Less remote colleges exhibit higher outgoing and incoming cross-enrollment than more remote colleges. Cross-enrolled students are more likely to take articulated courses, and institutions with higher equivalency ratios receive higher incoming cross-enrollment (8.62% vs. 6.70%). This association was slightly stronger at more remote colleges.

C2weakest assumption

That differences in cross-enrollment rates are driven by remoteness and equivalency ratios rather than unmeasured factors such as institutional size, student demographics, or course availability at each college.

C3one line summary

Quantitative analysis of administrative data from a community college system links lower geographic remoteness and higher credit equivalency ratios to increased cross-enrollment rates.
