Article Abstract

Related Issue:

The Complete College Tennessee Act (CCTA) established benchmarks for increasing state college completion rates to the national average by 2025. This investigation explored responses on the High School Senior Opinion Survey to identify trends between two subpopulations for strategic enrollment management (SEM)—Latino American and African American students. Findings are discussed within the framework of Astin’s (1991; 2012) Input-Environment-Output theory.
