Community College Estimated Growth: Fall 2010
Phillippe, Kent; Mullin, Christopher M.
American Association of Community Colleges (NJ1)
A survey from the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) found that enrollment growth in fall 2010 slowed its pace at community colleges, increasing 3.2% from the previous year. This contrasts with more dramatic increases in recent years: more than 11% between fall 2008 and fall 2009, and nearly 17% between fall 2007 and fall 2009, based on results of a fall 2009 survey sent to AACC member-eligible institutions (Mullin & Phillippe, 2009). The survey also examined institutional capacity and other pressing issues facing member institutions. (Contains 1 figure.)
