| Abstract | In order to determine the characteristics, educational motivations, and opinions of "step-in/step-out" students at Valencia Community College (VCC), the author sent questionnaires to 200 persons selected at random from those who had enrolled for less than 12 hours credit between September 1975 and January 1977 and who were eligible to return but did not do so. Of the 180 respondents, 53% had attended VCC after full-time employment; 86% were employed while attending VCC with over 75% working at least 40 hours per week; 48% desired to attain an Associate degree, while 24% enrolled to update current career fields and 18% for personal enrichment; 64% attended primarily evening classes. Courses were rated "good" or "excellent" by 80% and 93% indicated that they would recommend VCC to others seeking to complete the same courses; 90% plan to continue their education--40% at VCC, 36% at the graduate level, and 16% at another undergraduate institution. Immediately after leaving VCC, 64% were employed full-time, with 14% continuing to attend school part-time while working full-time. The chief reasons for leaving school were lack of finances, heavy employment schedules, and completion of the only course desired. Recommendations are made and the questionnaire is appended. (DC) |
