Rate of Growth in Distance Education Doubles in Community Colleges

Submitted by bdoherty on Wed, 04/14/2010 - 7:56am

In a study published by the Instructional Technology Council, it was found that for the 2008-09 academic year enrollment in distance education for community colleges grew 22% over the 2007-08 academic year. This rate compares with a growth rate of 11% in the previous year. This rate is somewhat higher than that found in a recent Sloan-C study that found for all distance education the growth was 17%. The growth rate for overall enrollment in higher education was less than 2% in this period.

College Enrollment Hits All-Time High, Fueled by Community College Surge

Submitted by bdoherty on Fri, 03/26/2010 - 11:37am

A recent Pew Research Center analysis of newly released U.S. Census Bureau data, shows that the percentage of 18-24 year olds attending college hit an all-time high in October 2008 (39.6%). The analysis further shows that the increase was greatest in community colleges, hitting 11.8% and almost one percentage point increase from the previous year. In the same period enrollment at four year colleges actually declined by a small amount (-.1%). As we who are involved in the community colleges this trend has likely further increased in the more than year since October 2008.

Going Above and Beyond

Submitted by bdoherty on Fri, 03/26/2010 - 11:22am

This story comes from Inside Higher ED, and certainly will not be a surprise to anyone in the CCCs. Nearly all of the California Community Colleges enrolled more students than the state paid for this academic year. the CCCs are taking on a disproportionate share of the state's 202,000 unfunded students. The colleges and districts are typically doing this by using reserve funds and other cost cutting measures. The top four districts in terms of percentage of unfunded students are: Barstow (39.7%), Desert (26.9%), Sequoias (26.2%), and Mt. San Jacinto (25.5%).
