1975 Community College Follow-Up System: Summary of Findings, Spring 1976.
Vinarskai, Eugene T.; And Others
This report summarizes the procedures and findings of the 1974-75 Oregon community college follow-up survey of a statewide sample of community college graduates and early leavers. Data obtained by means of the survey questionnaire were analyzed in aggregate, with no separate analyses conducted for individual colleges. Among the major findings were: (1) one-half of the graduates surveyed were employed full-time while an additional 34% were continuing their education; (2) one-half of the respondents identified as early leavers were continuing their education while an additional one-third were employed full-time; (3) twice as many graduates as early leavers were working in an area related to their community college program; (4) respondents indicated overall satisfaction with the programs and services offered at Oregon community colleges; (5) over one-half of all respondents who were continuing their education were doing so in a state higher education institution; (6) one-fourth of all continuing students were studying at community colleges; (7) average salary for females employed full-time was $510 per month while for males the figure was $630 per month; and (8) lower division transfer students were significantly more likely to continue their education than were vocational students. The survey instrument is appended. (JDS)
