ndltd-NEU--neu-cj82n235c2021-05-27T05:11:10ZCreating new gateways to education: students get a "QuickStart" to a college degree.American community colleges are struggling with issues of enrollment and retention. According to research, less than a third of community college students go on to graduate or transfer within 8 years of beginning college coursework and enrollment figures have steadily declined by 3% for each of the past 5 years. These statistics have resulted in many colleges trying to create new recruitment plans and student success initiatives to address and counter these issues, particularly focusing on at-risk and non-traditional student populations. This study centered on one such initiative: the QuickStart program at Mountain Empire Community College. It answered the following central research question: How do students and faculty perceive participation in a QuickStart program at MECC has influenced students' decisions to enroll and their ability to succeed at the college?http://hdl.handle.net/2047/D20209615
