Noncredit programs in postsecondary education are often seen as a promising way to address educational equity, but knowledge about the noncredit sector—such as the types of students enrolled in noncredit courses and their academic outcomes—is sparse, says this report from the Community College Research Center. The study explores the demographic and academic profiles of students enrolled in various fields of noncredit education, their academic outcomes and progress, and potential factors that influence noncredit course completion and transition to the for-credit sector.
