摘要

最近的州政策努力集中在提高有大学学历但没有学位的成年人的成就(SCND)。然而，实际上人们对SCND人口知之甚少。利用弗吉尼亚社区学院系统(VCCS)的数据，我们首次详细介绍了SCND人口的学术、就业和收入轨迹，并将这些与VCCS毕业生进行了比较。我们表明，在学业上准备好重新入学并从中受益的SCND学生的比例可能大大低于政策制定者的预期。具体来说，我们估计很少有SCND学生(大约3%)可以相当容易地重新注册学习领域，他们可以合理地期望从完成学位中获得可观的收入溢价。

Unfinished Business? Academic and Labor Market Profile of Adults With Substantial College Credits But No Degree

Recent state policy efforts have focused on increasing attainment among adults with some college but no degree (SCND). Yet little is actually known about the SCND population. Using data from the Virginia Community College System (VCCS), we provide the first detailed profile on the academic, employment, and earnings trajectories of the SCND population and how these compare with VCCS graduates. We show that the share of SCND students who are academically ready to re-enroll and would benefit from doing so may be substantially lower than policy makers anticipate. Specifically, we estimate that few SCND students (approximately 3%) could fairly easily re-enroll in fields of study from which they could reasonably expect a sizable earnings premium from completing their degree.

期刊介绍： Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis (EEPA) publishes manuscripts of theoretical or practical interest to those engaged in educational evaluation or policy analysis, including economic, demographic, financial, and political analyses of education policies, and significant meta-analyses or syntheses that address issues of current concern. The journal seeks high-quality research on how reforms and interventions affect educational outcomes; research on how multiple educational policy and reform initiatives support or conflict with each other; and research that informs pending changes in educational policy at the federal, state, and local levels, demonstrating an effect on early childhood through early adulthood.
