Numerous papers find positive returns to both college
attendance and credential receipt in the two-year sector,
with estimated earnings gains as high as 13% for each year
of attendance and 50% following the receipt of an associate
degree.11 Kane and Rouse (1995) estimate that each
year of community college attendance is correlated with a
7% increase in annual earnings of students who completed
high school in the 1970s and 1980s. Their results also suggest
that female students who complete an associate degree
earned 30% more than high school graduates. Despite
large expansions in the number of students enrolled in community
college in recent years, Marcotte, Bailey, Borkoski,
and Kienzl (2005) find similar earnings gains among more
recent cohorts. Importantly, Marcotte et al. (2005) distinguish
between community college students who received
sub-associate certificates and those who exit college without
a credential and find larger (although not statistically
distinguishable) impacts of certificate receipt on earnings
than the equivalent number of credits in the absence of any
credential.12
