dc.description.abstract	Presented at the 2000 AIR Conference in Cincinnati, Ohio, this paper discusses retention and persistence as critical issues for educational researchers at both 4-year and 2-year institutions. The purpose of the current investigation is to explore the variables underlying persistence and degree attainment in community colleges. The 1994 fall entering student cohort will be examined to specify a complex of variables that predict whether students persist, and whether those that indicate they want a degree/certificate in fact earn one. In addition, information is presented concerning the reasons why those students who chose to leave the institution made their decision to do so.	en_US
