Experiences and Outcomes of First-Generation Students in Community Colleges: Results
- Even with the controlled variables, first generation students in community colleges have different experiences, especially in comparison to students who have parents with high parental postsecondary education (both parents completed a bachelors degree or higher).
- Specifically, first generation students across the two years of this study “completed fewer credit hours; studied less; took fewer courses in the natural sciences, mathematics, and the arts and humanities; had lower college grades; were less likely to join a Greek organization; and worked more hours per week than their classmates whose parents had both completed a bachelor’s degree or above.” These results were statistically reliable and substantial in magnitude.
