Baldwin, Anne
A study was conducted in December 1994 at Miami-Dade Community College (M-DCC), in Florida, to determine the current educational status of Associate in Arts (AA) and Associate in Science (AS) students identified as leavers in 1991-92. Results showed that of 8,475 M-DCC leavers: (1) 36% were considered to be employed in the state since they could not be found at an educational institution or on workers' compensation rolls; (2) 21.5% had transferred to another educational institution; (3) of these transfers, 74% were enrolled at state universities, 13% were at Florida private four-year institutions, and another 13% were at state community colleges; (4) for students who left an AA program, 26% transferred, with 76% of these attending public universities; (5) for students who left an AS program, 8% transferred, with 72% of these attending state universities and 28% attending state community colleges; (6) 95% of the AA leavers who enrolled in the state university system were attending either Florida International University (FIU), Florida Atlantic University, University of Florida, or Florida State University, with 82% attending FIU; (7) the University of Miami, St. Thomas University, Barry University, and Nova University enrolled 88% of the AA leavers who went to private schools; and (8) 31% of the associate degree leavers transferring to a community college went to Broward Community College.
