- W2187008624 abstract "Community college students represent approximately 45 percent of all students enrolled in higher education in the United States. However, relatively little is known about the price sensitivity of community college attendance or the long-run impacts of community college enrollment on educational attainment. This paper examines the effects of community college tuition on college enrollment using a natural experiment in Texas where discounts for community college tuition were expanded over time and across geography. Additionally, the long-term effects of community college are examined including transfer to universities and graduation with a bachelor’s degree. To answer these questions, this paper uses Texas administrative data from 1994-2012 on the universe of high school graduates and their college enrollment and graduation. For high school graduates, a $1,000 decrease in community college tuition increased immediate transition to community college by 5.1 percentage points which translates to an own price elasticity of -.29. Community college enrollment in the first year after high school increased by a slightly larger 7.1 percentage points for a $1,000 decrease in tuition. Lower tuition also increased enrollment in community college every year for six years after high school graduation and increased transfer from community colleges to universities. Attending a community college increased the probability of earning a bachelors degree within eight years of high school graduation by 23 percentage points for students who would not have attended any college in the absence of reduced tuition. Notably, community college attendance increased bachelor’s degree receipt even for students who initially diverted enrollment from universities to community colleges. I would like to thank the Texas Education Research Center and the Texas Association of Community Colleges for providing the data. I would also like to thank Jason Abrevaya, Sandra Black, Carolyn Heinrich, Dayanand Manoli, Rich Patterson, Chet Polson, Jeffrey Smith, and several participants at seminars at the University of Texas of Austin for helpful comments on this project. I acknowledge support for this research from the National Academy of Education and the National Academy of Education/Spencer Dissertation Fellowship Program.
