Enrollment Patterns in Postsecondary Education: 1961-1982.

Clowes, Darrel A.; And Others

Journal of Higher Education, v57 n2 p121-33 Mar-Apr 1986

Three enrollment patterns are identified from longitudinal data: (1) high school cohort enrollment rates have stabilized but differ by race, sex, and institution type; (2) a reported talent loss of high-ability males is not confirmed; and (3) colleges, especially four-year, help to equalize access to education.
