Latinx Community College Student Co-Enrollment

Abstract

Co-enrollment, defined as simultaneous enrollment at more than one postsecondary institution, has become increasingly prevalent among college student attendance patterns. This descriptive study analyzes the characteristics and experiences of a nationally representative sample of co-enrolled Latinx community college students from the Beginning Postsecondary Longitudinal Study (BPS: 12/17). Results showed that certificate, associate’s degree, and bachelor’s degree completion was higher for co-enrolled Latinx community college students than for the entire sample of Latinx community college students. In addition, Latinx community college students co-enrolled at greater rates than the total sample of students in the dataset who co-enrolled.
