Survey: A Third of College Students Aren’t Getting Involved

A third of students don’t participate outside of class. What can be done to boost campus involvement? Research links students’ involvement in life beyond the classroom—in extracurriculars such as clubs and in co-curriculars such as service learning—to their overall success. So it’s concerning that over a third of students (36 percent) haven’t participated in a single extra- or co-curricular activity, according to new data from Inside Higher Ed’s main annual Student Voice survey of more than 5,000 two- and four-year students with Generation Lab.

College Uncovered

The single fastest-growing group of students in college? This may come as a surprise — they’re still in high school.So-called “dual enrollment” — also known as “early college” and “concurrent enrollment” — seems a win-win. Institutions get students, at a time when demographic shifts are making that more difficult; that’s especially true at community colleges, whose enrollment has declined the most. Meanwhile, high school students rack up credits, potentially saving time and money. Some finish their associate degrees at the same time that they get their diplomas. And studies show that they’re more likely to go on to and graduate from college than their classmates who don’t.The Department of Education didn’t even track how many students were taking dual-enrollment courses until last year. It turned out that two and a half million of them are. Studies show they’re more likely to go to and graduate from college than their classmates who don’t.High school students now make up a fifth of community college enrollment. At 37 community colleges nationwide, more than half of students are still in high school.But like much in higher education, there are traps and pitfalls. Not all of those credits transfer, for example. In this episode, we provide a road map to navigating dual enrollment.
