Findings: Postsecondary/College

Postsecondary enrollment rates varied among high school graduates who concentrated in different occupational areas; graduates who concentrated in three areas–computer and information sciences, health sciences, and marketing-enrolled in postsecondary education at rates that were not measurably different from nonconcentrators, and were higher than for concentrators in general.
