摘要

摘要本文研究了疫情如何影响美国最大的高等教育系统加州社区学院系统学生的入学模式、学习领域和学业成绩。在疫情期间,入学人数急剧下降——从2019年秋季到2020年秋季,入学学生总数下降了11%,从2020年秋季到2021年秋季又下降了7%。在此期间,加州社区学院系统失去了近30万名学生。我们的分析显示,黑人和拉丁裔学生的入学人数减少幅度最大,继续学习的学生比首次学习的学生减少幅度更大。我们没有发现任何证据表明,在疫情之前有大量的在线活动可以保护大学免受这些负面影响。招生人数在各个领域都发生了重大变化,职业课程和学术课程都发生了巨大变化,这些课程可以转到四年制院校。就课程成绩而言,完成率、退学率和成绩的变化主要发生在2020年春季。这些关于疫情对社区大学影响的发现对政策、即将到来的预算压力和未来的研究都有影响。

The Impact of COVID-19 on Community College Enrollment and Student Success: Evidence from California Administrative Data
Abstract This paper examines how the pandemic impacted the enrollment patterns, fields of study, and academic outcomes of students in the California Community College System, the largest higher-education system in the country. Enrollment dropped precipitously during the pandemic—the total number of enrolled students fell by 11 percent from Fall 2019 to Fall 2020 and by another 7 percent from Fall 2020 to Fall 2021. The California Community College system lost nearly 300,000 students over this period. Our analysis reveals that enrollment reductions were largest among black and Latinx students, and were larger among continuing students than first-time students. We find no evidence that having a large online presence prior to the pandemic protected colleges from these negative effects. Enrollment changes were substantial across a wide range of fields and were large for both vocational courses and academic courses that can be transferred to four-year institutions. In terms of course performance, changes in completion rates, withdrawal rates, and grades primarily occurred in the spring of 2020. These findings of the effects of the pandemic at community colleges have implications for policy, impending budgetary pressures, and future research.
