Executive Summary

This report focuses on Ivy Tech Community College’s first-time to college, full- and part-time, degree-seeking students from the summer and fall terms of 2008 followed for six years from their college start:

Within six years, 4,385 out of 15,727 (27.9 percent) transferred to another institution, a 0.6 percentage point increase from the 2007 cohort Six-Year Outcomes:

o Earned Ivy Tech credential, did not transfer: 13.3 percent. o Earned Ivy Tech credential, transferred: 5.0 percent. o Still enrolled at Ivy Tech: 3.3 percent. o Did not complete at Ivy Tech, transferred: 22.9 percent. o Overall success rate: 44.5 percent.

It is important to note that transfer and completion rates in this report are different from that reported to the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). Transfer is defined as any enrollment activity at an institution that is not Ivy Tech, regardless of completing an Ivy Tech degree. Completion rate in this report took into account any degree or certificate completed at Ivy Tech within the six-year period and is not restricted by the 150 percent completion time frame that is used by IPEDS.

Success rates are lowest for older, part-time, African American and Hispanic students. Ivy Tech’s three- and six-year transfer rates for full-time and part-time students were well above the national 50th percentile. Six-year transfer rates for Ivy Tech’s full-time students, in particular, were above the 75th percentile. Within six years, 1,133 out of 4,385 (26 percent) of Ivy Tech students who transferred earned a credential at another institution, with the majority of them being a bachelor’s degree. Transfer rates varied across Ivy Tech regions. Regions with the highest six-year transfer rates are Bloomington (35.3 percent), Northwest (33.5 percent), and Central Indiana (33.1 percent). Central Indiana accounts for 25 percent of all Ivy Tech transfers (1,105 out of 4,385). Students tended to transfer to an institution that is of close proximity to their Ivy Tech home campus. Transfer students tended to leave Ivy Tech early, as more than a third of all transfers occurred within the first two years. IUPUI, IU-Bloomington and Ball State University were the top three receiving institutions. More than half of students who transferred attended four-year public institutions. About a third transferred to a private four-year institution, while 12 percent transferred to a two-year public institution. Only a handful attended two-year private institutions. Institutions with prominent online programs, such as University of Phoenix, were popular choices among students who transferred to private schools. Transfer rates were highest for students who were:

o Pursuing an AA (40.1 percent) and AS (33.2 percent) degree at Ivy Tech. o Enrolled in School of Liberal Arts and Sciences (39.5 percent), School of Education (35.6

percent) and School of Applied Science and Engineering Technology (32.7 percent). o Black, non-Hispanic (37.2 percent) and other minorities (36.8 percent), which includes

Asian or Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaskan Native’s.

ANALYSIS OF SIX-YEAR OUTCOMES: FALL 2008 COHORT IR # 15068 Page 4

o Age 19 and under (34.6 percent). o Placed college-ready at first term (32.3 percent). o Earned cumulative Ivy Tech GPA of 3.00 to 3.99 (34.3 percent). o Earned cumulative Ivy Tech credits of 30 to 44.9 (34.3 percent). o Dependent (31.9 percent). o Not first generation (31.3 percent). o Enrolled full-time at first term (31.1 percent). o Not Pell-eligible (30.6 percent). o Has household adjusted gross income (AGI) of $50,000 or more (30.4 percent). o Female (29.5 percent).

Transfer rates were the lowest for students who were: o Enrolled in School of Technology (14.1 percent). o Age 50 or older (11.1 percent). o Pursuing a CT at Ivy Tech (10.5 percent).

Only 14 percent of students who transferred earned an Ivy Tech credential before transferring. Among these, a majority obtained an Associate of Science (AS) or Associate of Applied Science (AAS), with business administration being the most popular Ivy Tech major, followed by general studies. Approximately 60 percent of students who transferred without an Ivy Tech credential earned less than 30 Ivy Tech credit hours, while 6.6 percent earned 60 or more.

Key Findings

In 2008, there was a 35.6 percent increase in total number of students compared to the prior year (15,727 versus 11,597). The 2008 cohort is also comprised of older students. Both could be driven by the economic recession. The overall success rate for the 2008 cohort dropped by 1.5 percentage points compared to the prior year, much of it is observed in older and part-time students. It is also the lowest for African American and Hispanic students. Ivy Tech’s six-year transfer rate surpasses its six-year completion rate. The six-year transfer rate is above the national 50th percentile. Within six years, 1,133 out of 4,385 (26 percent) of Ivy Tech students who transferred earned a credential at another institution, with the majority of them being a bachelor’s degree. Students tended to transfer early, with the majority transferring within the first two years without an Ivy Tech credential. Most transferred with less than 30 Ivy Tech credit hours. A considerable proportion of students (over 50 percent) in the cohort were “lost” in the educational system as they did not transfer, complete a credential nor were they found to be enrolled at any school by the end of the six-year period. Interventions targeted toward leavers could benefit these students. Students tended to transfer to an institution that is of close proximity to their Ivy Tech home campus. As a result, having a strong partnership with these programs and/or institutions may help facilitate initiatives such as reverse transfer.

TRANSFER RATES COLLEGE-WIDE AND BY REGION

Introduction

Studies have shown that students are taking an increasingly diverse set of educational pathways to bachelor’s degree attainment. For example, students are acquiring credits from different institutions to meet academic and financial needs and taking more than four years to acquire a bachelor’s degree (Hossler et al., 2012). As students pursue their educational objectives, the role a community college plays in bachelor’s degree attainment is becoming increasingly important, as is emphasized in Ivy Tech’s transfer mission.

Current state performance funding metrics do not recognize the role of transfer in the success of Ivy Tech students. However, by creating systems whereby these students can be tracked throughout their postsecondary career, we will be in a better position to demonstrate the important role Ivy Tech plays within the Indiana higher education system.

First-time, degree seeking students who first enrolled at Ivy Tech in the fall of 2008 were followed for six years to identify:

1. the three- and six-year outcomes for students in this cohort and to compare Ivy Tech transfer rates to that of national benchmarks;

2. who are Ivy Tech out-bound transfer students, where do they transfer, and when; and 3. post-transfer outcomes, including credentials earned.

The results from this report will help provide a more comprehensive look at what occurs throughout a student’s academic career and help identify intervention points for senior leadership, policymakers and stakeholders to facilitate student success.

Methodology

The cohort in this study included all first-time, degree-seeking students who were new to Ivy Tech in the fall 2008 semester, including both full-time and part-time students (n=15,727) – the Fall 2008 IPEDS cohort. The sample excluded deceased students, high school students, guest students and students from the apprenticeship program.

Student demographic information, enrollment characteristics, course work information and degree information at Ivy Tech were extracted from Banner/ODS. Each student’s demographic and enrollment characteristics such as enrollment intensity (i.e. full- versus part-time) and major, as well as the student’s home region, were captured when the student first started at the college. Subsequent enrollment and external degree information were provided by the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) and Indiana Commission for Higher Education (ICHE).

This report defines transfer as any enrollment activity at an institution that is not Ivy Tech. Each student is counted once, regardless of whether the student attended multiple institutions. Completion in this report is defined as obtaining either a credential (i.e., CT or TC) or an associate degree at any time within the six-year time span and is not restricted by the 150 percent completion time frame. This allows our completion counts to include more students, particularly those that earned certificates.

The research timeframe is between the student’s first term at Ivy Tech (summer or fall 2008) and the end of the six-year period (spring semester of 2013). This report does not examine any transfer or completion activity that falls outside this timeframe.

Findings

Approximately 27.3 percent of students in the 2008 cohort transferred to another institution.

Table 2. Fall 2008 First-Time, Degree-Seeking Students: Statewide Three- and Six-Year Transfer Rate Trends

As shown in figure 1, Ivy Tech’s statewide six-year transfer rates have steadily increased over the past five years. From the 2004 cohort to the 2008 cohort, there was a 65 percent increase in 3-year transfer rates and a nearly 35 percent increase in the 6-year transfer rates, although three-year transfer rates appeared to have leveled off over the past three cohorts.

National Community College Benchmark Project Data (NCCBP)

The NCCBP was established to provide benchmarks and peer comparison data on institutional performance indicators, with over 260 community colleges participating nationwide in 2014. When compared to the 2014 NCCBP benchmarks for transfer rates, both Ivy Tech’s three- and six-year transfer rates for full-time and part-time students were above the 50th percentile. Six-year transfer rates for Ivy Tech’s full-time students, in particular, were above the 75th percentile nationally.

The figure and table above illustrate six-year outcomes for the 2008 cohort based on counts and percentages of how many had completed, were still enrolled or were no longer enrolled at Ivy Tech or their receiving institution(s). Overall, approximately 18.3 percent had obtained either a credential or a degree at Ivy Tech over the course of six years; an additional 5.8 percent had done so at another institution. A considerably greater portion (over 55 percent) of students in the cohort did not transfer or

ANALYSIS OF SIX-YEAR OUTCOMES: FALL 2008 COHORT IR # 15068 Page 10

complete a credential nor were they found to have been enrolled at any school at the end of the six year period.

Full-timer students tended to perform better than part-timer students, as slightly more full-timer students completed a credential at Ivy Tech or at another institution at the end of the six year period. Moreover, fewer part-timer students were found to be enrolled at Ivy Tech at the end of the six year period.

Finally, almost 700 students were still actively enrolled at Ivy Tech or at another institution at the end of the six-year period, suggesting perhaps a traditional three or six-year measure of success may cover a time period that is too short to sufficiently capture the success of community college students. In fact, the average time to completion for Ivy Tech students is 16 semesters, that is, 5 years and 1 semester from the time of first enrollment. IPEDS will begin collecting an 8-year graduation rate in the 2014-2015 year, which will provide us an opportunity to receive peer comparison data for this period of time.

* Students attending the Spring, 2013 academic semester ** Based on the student’s first term

Figure 3 and table 5 show six-year outcomes for the 2008 cohort broken out by Ivy Tech region. Regions that ranked top in overall six-year success rates are Southeast (52.6 percent), Northwest (51.0 percent) and Bloomington (50.8 percent).

Approximately a quarter of students from the Richmond and Columbus regions, respectively, completed at Ivy Tech and did not transfer. The Bloomington and Central Indiana regions had the highest proportion of students transferring without completing an Ivy Tech credential, whereas Southeast had the highest proportion of students transferring with an Ivy Tech credential. Consistent with findings from past transfer studies (Lin, 2014), a considerably large proportion of students transferred before completing at Ivy Tech. This is the most apparent in the Bloomington (30.0 percent) and Central Indiana regions (28.7 percent).

It is important to note the 2008 cohort differed from the 2007 cohort in both size and types of students enrolled. In 2008, there was a drastic 35.6 percent increase in total IPEDS enrollment numbers compared to the prior year (15,727 versus 11,597). The 2008 cohort is also comprised of higher numbers of older students, as the percentage of students between the ages of 20 and 24 increased by 19 percentage points and 4.5 percentage points for those who were 25 or older. The sudden growth in enrollment numbers and number of older students could be driven by the economic recession, as reported by several studies (Barr and Turner, 2013 and Shapiro et al., 2014).

The overall success rate for the 2008 cohort was 44.5 percent, a 1.5 percentage points drop from the 2007 cohort. A deeper examination among different student groups indicated that success rate for full-time students remained fairly consistent compared to the prior year; however, the success rate for part-time enrollees dropped by 3.3 percent. A decline in the success rate was also observed in older students, particularly those in the 20 to 24 age group and 50 or older. Success rates were also lowest for African American and Hispanic students. A recent National Student Clearinghouse study on national completion rates of new, first-time students who began in Fall, 2008 also reported a decline in completion rates nationally, with declines observed mostly in part-time and older students (Shapiro et al., 2014).

The figure above shows three- and six-year transfer rates by Ivy Tech region. Transfer rates for years one to three surpassed that of years four to six, indicating that the majority of students transfer fairly early in their academic career.

Studying transfer activity across Ivy Tech regions identifies vast differences across regions, with six-year transfer rates ranging between 18.7 percent and 35.3 percent. Some Ivy Tech regions are more transfer-oriented than others. Such differences could be contributed to the nature of programs offered, the student body that was served, the four-year institution that is in close proximity to the Ivy Tech campus, or the strength of any transfer agreements with nearby institutions.

Ivy Tech Regions with the highest three-year transfer rates are: R#14 Bloomington (21.5 percent) R# 1 Northwest (20.4 percent) R# 8 Central Indiana (18.3 percent)

Ivy Tech Regions with the highest four- to six-year transfer rates are: R#11 Southeast (14.8 percent) R#12 Southwest (14.3 percent) R# 8 Central Indiana (13.5 percent)

Ivy Tech Regions with the highest overall six-year transfer rates are: R#14 Bloomington (35.3 percent) R# 1 Northwest (33.5 percent) R# 8 Central Indiana (33.1 percent)

* based on the student’s first term

As discussed in previous sections, one to three year transfer rates surpassed that of years four to six for most Ivy Tech regions. Full-timer students transferred at a much higher rate than part-timer students for most regions (see Figure 5 and Table 7). This pattern was especially prominent in regions such as Central Indiana and Bloomington, both within close proximity to another four-year institution.

Table 8. Fall 2008 First Time, Degree-Seeking Students: Types of Ivy Tech Credentials Earned Before Transferring Note: Consists of unduplicated headcounts. If a student earned multiple credentials, the highest credential earned was captured in this table.

Consistent with past transfer studies, the majority of Ivy Tech students transferred without earning an Ivy Tech credential. In the 2008 cohort, only 14 percent of students who transferred earned an Ivy Tech credential before transferring.

Table 8 above illustrates the types of Ivy Tech credentials earned by transfer students. Among these, a majority have obtained a degree in Associate of Science (AS) and Associate of Applied Science (AAS). Business administration was the most popular Ivy Tech major (n=94), followed by general studies (n=57). Approximately 4 percent of those who transferred returned and earned a credential with Ivy Tech at a later date.

Table 9. Fall 2008 First-time, Degree-Seeking Students: Cumulative Ivy Tech hours earned for students who transferred without earning an Ivy Tech credential

Table 9 shows cumulative Ivy Tech hours earned by students who transferred without earning an Ivy Tech credential. As shown, more than a quarter of students earned between 15.0 and 29.9 credit hours, with an additional 6.6 percent earning 60 credit hours and above. The latter group is an ideal candidate for the reverse transfer initiative that allows the student to earn an Ivy Tech degree by transferring credits earned at the other institution back to Ivy Tech to satisfy the final degree requirement. Of note, 10.2 percent transferred without earning any Ivy Tech credits – these students could be taking remedial courses, failed to complete any courses or both.

Timing of Transfer

Figure 9. Fall 2008 First-time, Degree-Seeking Students: Last Term Enrolled at Ivy Tech

Figure 9 shows the academic year of which transfer activity occurred. Students who transferred tended to leave Ivy Tech early, as more than a quarter of all transfers occurred within the first two years. Although there is a high proportion of students who transferred early in their academic career, transfer numbers remain high throughout the six-year period, suggesting Ivy Tech students are active in the education system for more than the 150 percent completion time.3

Figure 10. Fall 2008 First-Time, Degree-Seeking Students: “Transfer-to” Institutions by Sector and Control

Figures 10 and 11 describe in-state and out-of-state initial “transfer-to” destinations by sector and control. More than half of the students transferred to four-year public institutions. About a third transferred to a private four-year institution, while 12 percent transferred to a two-year public institution. Two-year private institutions were less popular transfer destinations. Among those that transferred to a two-year institution, most attended a public, two-year institution that is out-of-state. It is important to note that many multi-state, private institutions report to NSC from the main branch, which may not be where the student attended classes - which may inflate out-of-state transfer counts.

Figure 12. Fall 2008 First-Time, Degree-Seeking Students: Top 20 “Transfer-to” Institutions with the largest Contributing Ivy Tech Region and Contributing % in Brackets (See Table 4-A in the appendix for details)

As shown in figure 12 above, IUPUI was the most popular transfer-to destination for transfer students of the 2008 cohort, followed by IU-Bloomington, Ball State University and Indiana State University. Also shown in the figure is the top contributing Ivy Tech region to the respective receiving school. Not surprisingly, 67 percent of students who transferred to IUPUI came from the Central Indiana region, and 81 percent of those who transferred to IU-Bloomington came from Ivy Tech Bloomington. Consistent with past transfer studies, in most cases the largest contributing Ivy Tech campus is within close proximity to the receiving institution.

Figure 13. Top 20 Private “Transfer-to” Institutions

A third of students (n=1,353) who transferred attended a private institution. Popular transfer-to destinations are exclusively online or have a very large online component, which suggest that a significant number of our transfer students may be taking online courses or pursuing a degree online. It is worth noting that not all private institutions report to NSC; therefore not all students who transferred to private institutions are captured.

Table 10. Fall 2008 First-Time, Degree-Seeking Students: Types of Credentials Earned at the External Institution after Transferring

As a greater number of students are taking the non-traditional pathway to bachelor’s degree attainment by acquiring credits from different sources and taking longer than four years to obtain a degree, the role a community college plays is becoming increasingly important in the process. As shown in the figure above, 1,133 of 4,385 (26 percent) of Ivy Tech students who transferred earned a credential at another institution within six years, with the majority of them earning a bachelor’s degree. For those who transferred without earning an Ivy Tech credential, 206 out of 913 (22.6 percent) earned an associate degree elsewhere, and 542 out of 913 (59.4 percent) earned a Bachelor’s degree.

ANALYSIS OF SIX-YEAR OUTCOMES: FALL 2008 COHORT IR # 15068 Page 27

Implications/Recommendations

In 2008, there was a 35.6 percent increase in total number of students compared to the prior year and was comprised of a greater number of older students, both of which could be driven by the economic recession. The overall success rate for the 2008 cohort dropped by 1.5 percent compared to the prior year, although much of this decrease was observed in older and part-time students. Consistent with the 2007 cohort, success rates were also lowest for African American and Hispanic students. Continuous efforts to support these student groups through programs such as Achieving the Dream (ATD) may help close the achievement gap.

One major finding from this study is that more than 3,500 students from the Fall 2008 cohort transferred without earning an Ivy Tech credential, with more than a quarter of students earning between 15.0 and 29.9 Ivy Tech credit hours. Perhaps “2+2” or “3+1” programs with partnering four-year schools and the newly established TGEC, along with transfer-orientated advising, could lead to better completion rates for Ivy Tech in future cohorts, as well as help improve success rates for Ivy Tech transfer students. In addition, more than 200 students earned 60 credit hours or more, which suggests that collaborative efforts with four-year institutions, such as reverse transfer that will allow Ivy Tech credentials to be earned retroactively, may help increase completion. Forming a stronger data-sharing relationship with partnering four-year institutions may aid these efforts.

More than half of students in the cohort were “lost” in the educational system as they did not transfer, complete a credential, or continue to be enrolled at any school at the end of the six-year period. Continued attention to strategies that re-enroll students with some college credit or prior enrollment activity may be an important way to support overall attainment of career and educational goals for these students.

Lastly, 26 percent of transfer students earned a credential at another institution within six years, with the majority earning a bachelor’s degree. This highlights the important role Ivy Tech plays in a student’s educational career.
