The Community College ROI of Study Abroad

> Connecting Study Abroad to Community College Mission/Vision of Student Success: Gain Engage, Retain and Graduate students at a higher rate to empower those students to become productive members of society <

Educated Assumptions:

  • “Average” annual net price, full time, beginning, community college student (the annual value of a student): $8,000.00
  • “Average” annual net price, full time, beginning, community college student (the annual value of a student for 2 year program): $16,000.00
  • Initial Cost/Investment of study abroad program: $0.00
  • Marginal Means, Adjusted, 2 year community college, study abroad, retention rate gain: 9%; 1 year: 6.6%
  • Study abroad, 2 year, graduation impact: + 9% x 3,000 students = 270 Student gain, x $8,000 value per student = $2,160,000.00 Community College Revenue Gain

Community College ROI Calculation:

  • Amount Invested: $0.00
  • Amount Returned: $ 2,160,000
  • ROI over 2 years is off the charts!
  • Under this ROI calculation methodology, to receive an annual ROI return of 20%, a VERY good return on your money invested, your dollar investment would be $1,500,000  (remember your investment here is zero) .
  • What does this mean to you?: Your expected ROI return, on your investment of ZERO Dollars, FAR EXCEEDS 20%!
