| Abstract | Since the fall of 1979, over 50% of the student population at Hudson County Community College (HCCC), in New Jersey, has attended on a full-time basis, with 62% of fall 1994 students attending full-time. This characteristic makes HCCC a deviant case among community colleges where the nationwide average of full-time enrollment status is only 36%. A comparison of characteristics for HCCC's part- and full-time students for fall 1994 indicated that there were no significant differences in gender, that Hispanic students were more likely than white students to enroll full-time, and that as student age increased the percentage of full-time students decreased. The fact that 70% of the Hispanic students were attending full-time suggests that enrollment in English as a Second Language (ESL) and bilingual courses may play a role in the college's high full-time percentages. Hispanic students accounted for 47% of HCCC's total fall 1994 enrollment and represented 80% of students enrolled in ESL/bilingual courses. An analysis of fall 1994 matriculated students in three groups (i.e., ESL, basic skills, and fully program-ready) indicated that 56% of the program-ready students were enrolled full-time, while 78% of the basic skills and 89% of the ESL students were. Large full-time enrollments in these two groups may also account for the full-time enrollment percentages at the college. (TGI) |
