Two-year public colleges are known to experience the lowest retention rates of all colleges and universities. In addition, the lowest rate of consecutive-term retention within the two-year college occurs from students' first to second term. The literature on factors related to retention in two-year colleges, however, is strikingly inconclusive. The purpose of this study was to determine demographic and academic factors associated with first-to-second-term retention at a regional campus of a two-year public technical institution. The interaction between these factors was also studied. Those demographic variables found to be significantly related to retention included educational objective, full-time/part-time enrollment status, employment status, and age. The only academic factor found to be related significantly to retention was first-term GPA. No significant interaction effects between these variables were found. A list of target groups for retention strategies was developed from the results of the study. |
