Community College Market in the US: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a positive impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The focus on non-traditional learners is notably driving the community college market in the US growth, although factors such as funding cuts may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the community college market in the US industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Community College Market in the US Driver
The rise in industry partnerships is one of the major factors driving the market growth. Institutions are shifting focus from attracting and recruiting traditional degree program students to other student categories. Other student categories include student and adult learners who enroll in continuing education and certification programs conducted by colleges and universities. As per the National Center of Education Statistics, in the US, in 2018, the undergraduate enrollment of female candidates of age 25-34 was 2,375, and of those aged 35 and over was 1,540. The undergraduate enrollments of male candidates of age 25-34 were 1,843 and aged 35 and over were 858. There is more emphasis laid on continuing education in the US. An unstable global economic condition is adversely impacting the employment market. Besides, the greater demand for skilled employees has led to an increase in the requirement for continuing education in almost all sectors from healthcare or IT. The non-traditional category is expected to serve as a customer segment with significant revenue-generating opportunities. Various evening and part-time course programs have been introduced that are highly flexible to suit students. Also, the availability of online courses with hassle-free credit transfer systems has further helped institutions to attract non-traditional learners. This will open a new avenue of revenue generation for community colleges and enable them to cater to educational customers.
Key Community College Market in the US Trend
The emphasis on the education marketing process is one of the key community college market trends in the US. Community colleges are observed to embrace education marketing services. The procurement of education marketing services is a common phenomenon among other higher education institutions and K-12 schools. However, community colleges are gradually following the trend. They face challenges due to the rising competition in terms of attracting and recruiting students from four-year and for-profit institutions along with quality enhancement initiatives. This has resulted in colleges redesigning their communication and recruitment strategies. Students that can enroll at community colleges have the purpose of either joining the job market or transferring to a four-year institution. Hence, colleges must prepare communication messages accordingly to capture students with varied mindsets. Community colleges are taking expert services from education marketing service providers. For instance, Ivy Tech Community College has utilized social networking platforms as a way of marketing its education campaigns and as a customer service tool. The marketing departments in colleges are looking for innovative ways to reach out to a vast array of students. They understand that the student recruitment process is not a one-time activity. Hence, they are making efforts to strengthen their marketing initiatives. We expect this trend to gain momentum during the forecast period.
Key Community College Market in the US Challenge
The funding cut is a major hindrance to the community college market growth in the US. The funding sources available to community colleges are one of the most decisive factors in determining the progress of these colleges. As capital is required in every aspect of the maintenance and growth of community colleges, it is a critical input for them. However, looking at the funding trends, it is observed that state funding has steadily declined during the past couple of years. The state tax revenue that acted as a major source of funding for these colleges has shrunk and resulted in colleges either raising their tuition fees or limiting their student intake. Alongside this, there have been spending cuts that may compromise the quality of education imparted by these colleges. States such as Oklahoma, Kentucky, and West Virginia have encountered per-student spending cuts in 2015 and have continued until the present. This has pressurized community colleges to provide quality education in the absence of funding. As these colleges put a cap on student enrollments, this acts in favor of the other four-year academic institutions that accommodate the rest of the students. Thus, this factor challenges market growth during the forecast period.
