A new report from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center shows that fewer students are enrolling in two-year institutions after earning bachelor's degrees.
Of students who earned a bachelor's degree in 2013, 5.8 percent enrolled in a two-year institution -- the lowest point in 14 years. Students who are over age 30 when they earned a bachelor's degree are least likely to seek further education at a two-year institution, according to the report.
"The great recession compelled many individuals to return to college," said Doug Shapiro, executive research director of the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, in a news release. "Upon earning their bachelor's degrees, those students typically did not seek further training at two-year institutions."
