Postsecondary Markets and Student Outcomes
This research project investigates how a student’s participation in postsecondary education helps shape subsequent academic achievement and employment outcomes. The research documented the structure of the market for postsecondary education, including its historical context and the role that cost and discounting play in framing institutional strategies and student choices. The project builds on the market model to gauge the impact an individual institution has had on the subsequent lives of its graduates in order to help campuses, students, and parents measure the contributions institutions have made to the academic and employment outcomes of their graduates, and to better understand students and their needs.
