The Center for Global Education promotes international education to foster cross-cultural awareness, cooperation and understanding. Living and working effectively in a global society requires learning with an international perspective.
We promote this type of learning by collaborating with colleges, universities and other organizations around the world.
California Community College Student Outcomes Abroad Research Project
- A set of 476,708 first-time college students who had the same characteristics and who showed a credit enrollment that was not concurrent with high school enrollment but did not have a record of an earned college-level degree or certificate were tracked from Fall 2004 to Fall 2009 in three-year sequences.
- An attempt was made to statistically control for differences in student background characteristics using Poisson regression and multiple regression.
- Outcome differences were evaluated using marginal means in addition to unstandardized and standardized coefficients.
- Regression techniques compared the cohort on key outcomes such as year-to-year retention, curricular progression, completion of transfer level English and math, degree and certificate attainment, and transfer.
- Based on this methodology, we found that many results were statistically significant.
