INTRODUCTION
The San Mateo County Community College District (SMCCCD), in an effort to
better serve the residents of the county, asked GLS Research to design a study to
interview residents who expressed at least some interest in taking college courses
in the next three years to investigate the following topics:
•
Course interests, to help SMCCCD determine what courses to offer.
•
Preferences for time, day, and type of class (traditional classroom,
Internet, etc.).
•
Preferences for types of information received from SMCCCD (mail,
Internet, etc.)
•
Profiles of current and potential students by type (continuing education, 2and 4-year degree, and technical/trade school) to help in targeting these
groups.
•
A demographic profile of these residents interested in taking college
courses in the next three years, specifically to examine differences by
North, Central, and South County.

METHODOLOGY
GLS Research, in consultation with the SMCCCD, designed a survey instrument
to examine the higher education interests of San Mateo County residents.
County residents had to meet the following criteria to be eligible for the survey:
•
18 years of age or older.
•
Not employed by SMCCCD.
•
At least some interest in taking college courses in the next three years
(measured using a five-point scale where 1=not at all interested and
5=very interested, with those giving a response of two or higher being
eligible).
•
Not currently enrolled in a 4-year degree or graduate school program.
Because of budgetary considerations, interviews were conducted only in English,
potentially under-representing some minority communities. Among all calls that
resulted in someone answering the telephone, 10.7% were terminated because the
person could not speak English.
1,202 random-digit-dial telephone interviews were conducted between January 28
and February 9, 2008. By design, a minimum of 400 interviews were conducted
in the North, Central, and South County regions to permit regional comparisons.
The margin of error on a sample of 1,202 is ±2.8% at the 95% level of
confidence; for 400 the margin of error would be ±4.9%.
The 95% level of confidence is typically used in all market research. It means
that if the survey were repeated 100 times, then 95 times out of 100 the true
measure would fall within the margin of error. Higher levels of confidence (98%
or 99%) are not typically used in market research.
A Note on the Sampling Methodology
Random digit dialing (RDD) is a method for selecting people for involvement in
telephone statistical surveys, using a computer to generate telephone numbers at
random for existing telephone exchanges (the first three digits of the phone
number). Random digit dialing has the advantage that it includes unlisted
numbers that would be missed if the numbers were selected from a phone book.
In studies like this one, only residential/private numbers are included (business
exchanges are excluded).
GLS Research
December 2008
SMCCCD
Page 3
County Residents Study
The RDD sample used for this study included both land lines and cell phones
within San Mateo County. Some of the blocks of numbers include exchanges that
are land-line only, some are cell phone only, and some are mixed land lines and
cell phones. Because telephone area codes and the telephone exchanges
sometimes overlap geographical boundaries, the sample is initially screened by
zip code to make sure all numbers are within San Mateo County.
The sample contained a total of 132,616 individual phone numbers, of which
111,626 were dialed. Of those, 26,911 resulted in actual contact with a potential
respondent, and 4,112 agreed to take the survey. Of those, 2,910 did not satisfy
the screening criteria, leaving 1,202 who qualified and completed the survey.
Calls were made throughout the day and evening over the course of two weeks in
order to maximize the variety of people we reached. If the person answering the
phone was not qualified to complete the survey, he or she was asked if there was
someone in the household who might qualify for the survey. If so, an interview
was either conducted with that person or a callback appointment was made. Only
one completed interview was accepted from each household.

AN OVERVIEW OF THE FINDINGS
The analyses contained in this report focus on three student groups (continuing
education students, 2- and 4-year degree students, and trade/technical school
students). Preferences for class type and time of day, as well as how the District
communicates with potential students, are discussed. Demographics for all
respondents and by region are presented.
Continuing Education Students
•
By far the largest group of county residents interested in taking
courses in the next three years (84%) classify themselves as continuing
education students, suggesting that these residents should form the
main target for SMCCCD communications and enrollment efforts.
(See Figure 1.)
•
Those interested in continuing education are more likely to be found
among whites, women, residents of Central and South county, those 45
years old or older, those with middle- to high-income, and college
graduates. (See Figure 2.)
•
They are most interested in art, computer science, and foreign
language courses, followed by business, history, music, and
photography. (See Figure 3.)
Two- and Four-Year Degree Students
•
Seven percent (7%) of county residents interested in taking courses in
the next three years are either currently enrolled or would like to
become enrolled to pursue a 2-year degree (3.5%) or a 4-year degree
(3.3%). (See Figure 1.)
•
Residents interested in pursuing a degree are more likely to be found
among those from North County, 18 to 44 years olds, minorities, and
those have a high school diploma or some college and an income of
less than $80,000. (See Figure 4.)
•
Their major fields of study are, or would be, business, followed at
some distance by computer science, nursing, psychology,
administration of justice, art, and education. (See Figure 5.)
GLS Research
December 2008
SMCCCD
Page 5
County Residents Study
Trade/Technical School Students
•
Five percent (5%) of county residents interested in taking courses in
the next three years are interested in pursuing a vocational program.
(See Figure 1.)
•
Residents interested in vocational programs are more likely to be
found among males, 18 to 54 years old, Hispanics, and those with a
high school diploma or some college and an income of less than
$80,000. (See Figure 6.)
•
The vocational programs they are most interested in are computer
science, followed at some distance by building inspection technology,
administration of justice, business, electronics technology, engineering
technology, and a craft or trade. (See Figure 7.)
Class Preferences
•
Looking at all current and potential students, most (73%) are interested
in a traditional classroom setting, while 17% are interested in classes
via the Internet. Those over 65 have much less interest in Internet
learning and much higher interest in older distance learning
technologies like television and video and audio tapes. (See Figure 8
and Figure 9.)
•
Weekday nights (45%) are the most popular time for classes,
especially among those less than 55 years old. Weekday mornings
(29%) is the second most popular time for classes – especially among
those 55 and older. (See Figure 10 and Figure 11.)
•
About equal proportions of county residents interested in taking
courses in the next three years say they prefer to get information about
educational opportunities in the mail (40%) or on the Internet (39%).
Preference for these two different media vary with age, with mail
being preferred by older residents and the Internet by younger
residents. (See Figure 12.)
Likelihood of Attending an SMCCCD College
•
One-third (33%) of county residents interested in taking college
courses who are not currently attending an SMCCCD college said they
were likely to take a course at an SMCCCD college in the next three
years. Higher proportions of residents of North and Central County,
women, those age 45 to 54, those with some college, those with
GLS Research
December 2008
SMCCCD
Page 6
County Residents Study
household incomes of less than $80,000, and Hispanics and other nonAsian minorities say they were relatively more likely to take courses at
an SMCCCD college. This is the typical demographic profile of
county residents who currently express greatest interest in attending
SMCCCD colleges. (See Figure 13 and Figure 14.)
•
Among those likely to attend an SMCCCD college, 40% said they
would likely enroll at CSM, 29% to Skyline, and 26% to Cañada.
Naturally North County residents were far more likely to say they
would attend Skyline, a higher proportion of Central County residents
would attend CSM, and South County residents were more likely to
attend Cañada. (See Figure 15.)
•
Those not likely to enroll at an SMCCCD college were asked what
might encourage them to enroll. One-third (34%) said providing
courses that met their educational needs, while 21% said courses close
to home or work, and 9% said better availability of classes at times
they could take them. (See Figure 16.)
Demographics
•
Respondents to this survey had to meet several criteria in order to
qualify, with the most important being expressing at least some
interest in taking college courses in the next three years. These
respondents represent a distinct subset of all county residents – namely
those interested in taking college courses in the next three years. As
such this demographic profile describes that subgroup of residents and
does not necessarily match a demographic profile of all county
residents.
•
Residents interested in taking college courses in the next three years
were more likely to be female than male, with the highest proportion
of females in South County. The average age is 51.3, and North
County residents (50.1) were younger than South County residents
(52.3). More than one-half of respondents have lived in the county for
more than 20 years. Three-quarters of respondents were white, while
20% were a member of a minority group. There were higher
concentrations of Hispanics in North County and Asians in North and
Central county. More than six in ten have a college degree, with North
County residents less likely than others to have a college degree.
Household incomes were spread over a broad spectrum, with
somewhat lower income levels recorded in North County and higher
income levels in South County. (See Figure 17 and Figure 18.)

County Residents Study
Currently Enrolled Students
•
This study was designed to get a picture of all residents of the county
with interest in pursuing college coursework in the next three years. It
just so happened that 84 of them (out of 1,202 total respondents) were
currently enrolled at a Bay Area college, with 49 of them enrolled at
an SMCCCD college and 35 at other Bay Area colleges. Because
these numbers are so small, we found virtually no statistically reliable
differences between those enrolled at an SMCCCD college and those
enrolled at other Bay Area colleges. While proportional differences
between these two groups sometimes appear large, because of the very
small size of the groups, these apparent large differences are not
statistically significant.
•
Because nothing definitive can be deduced from these findings, they
are presented in an appendix to this report.
CONCLUSIONS
GLS Research believes these findings provide the SMCCCD with a number of
opportunities to reach underserved county residents and increase enrollment while
maintaining ongoing educational goals.
•
This study clearly shows that, among county residents interested in
taking college courses in the next three years, the overwhelming
educational interest is continuing education and personal enrichment
courses. SMCCCD should consider focusing on attracting these
residents to its three campuses with evening courses in the subjects
that matter most – with art, computers, and foreign languages being at
the top of desired continuing education courses, followed by business,
history, music, and photography. Residents in this group are more
likely to be found among whites, women, the college educated, those
over 45, those living in Central and South County, and those with mid
to high household incomes. This demographic profile should be kept
in mind when targeting this group.
•
However, if we look at the demographics of those likely to enroll in an
SMCCCD college in the next three years 1 , the profile is somewhat
different. Like those who are interested in continuing education, those
likely to enroll in an SMCCCD college are more likely to be found
1
Respondents were asked how likely they are to enroll in one of the SMCCCD colleges in the next three years. Ratings
were done on a five-point scale where five meant “very likely” and one meant “not at all likely.” Respondents who
gave a rating of four or five were considered “likely” to attend.
GLS Research
December 2008

County Residents Study
among women and those over 45, but they are also more likely to be
found among Hispanic, those from North or Central County, those
with some college education, and those with incomes of less than
$80,000 a year. This, then, represents the demographic profile of
county residents currently being attracted to SMCCCD colleges.
•
If SMCCCD wants to broaden its appeal and market more efficiently,
it should consider focusing more on the demographic groups strongly
represented among residents interested in continuing education
courses.
•
While the traditional classroom setting is preferred by most, about two
in ten are most interested in distance education via the Internet.
Relatively few are interested in other distance learning options, so
SMCCCD should focus distance learning efforts on Internet courses.
•
Residents are about equally divided about whether they prefer getting
education information through the mail or on the Internet, so
SMCCCD needs to do both. The Internet, which used to reach only a
younger audience, is now embraced by all except those 65 and older,
so putting resources into Internet communications will cover a broad
group of people. At the same time, direct mail is a way residents
expect to hear from community colleges, and the course catalog
mailed to all residents probably remains a good recruiting tool.
•
Two-year degree and technical certificate students will continue to be
an important part of SMCCCD’s mission. While they do not represent
a large proportion of all county residents interested in taking college
courses in the next three years, this study can point to the types of
courses these students are hoping to find at the college they attend.
•
Two-year degree students (and those hoping to transfer to a 4-year
college) are most interested in business, followed by computer science,
and nursing.
•
Technical school students are looking for computer science, building
inspection technology, administration of justice, and business.

DETAILED FINDINGS
Among county residents who are interested in taking college courses in the next
three years, 84% are interested in continuing education courses (Figure 1).
Among those interested in a 2- or 4-year degree, about one-half are interested in a
2-year degree and one-half are interested in a 4-year degree.

Interest in obtaining a 2- or 4-year degree declines with declining initial interest 2
in taking college courses, from 9% among those with the highest interest to 4%
among those with the lowest interest. Conversely, interest in continuing
education courses increases with declining initial interest in taking college
courses, from 81% among those with the highest interest to 89% among those
with the lowest interest.
2
All county residents we interviewed were asked the following question: “People take college courses for
many reasons. Some get a 2- or 4-year college degree; some get a vocational certificate; or some simply
take courses for personal enrichment or continuing education. How interested are you in taking courses at
a college, trade school, or vocational institute in the next 3 years? Please use a 5-point scale where 1
means “not at all interested” and 5 means “very interested. Feel free to choose any number between 1 and
5.” Those giving a rating of 1 (i.e., “not at all interested”) did not continue with the survey; those giving a
rating of 2 to 5 (i.e., showing at least some interest) completed the survey and were analyzed for these
findings.

All county residents who are interested in taking courses in the next three years
were asked how they prefer to get information about higher educational
opportunities (Figure 12).
About equal proportions of residents said in the mail (40%) or from the Internet
(39%).
Preferring the Internet declines with age, from 50% among those 18 to 44 years
old to 20% among those 65 and older.
Conversely, preferring to receive information in the mail increases with age, from
31% among those 18 to 44 years old to 52% among those 65 and older.

LIKELIHOOD OF ATTENDING AN SMCCCD COLLEGE
One-third (33%) of county residents interested in taking college courses in the
next three years who are not currently attending an SMCCCD college said they
would likely enroll, with 19% saying “very likely” (Figure 13). However, a larger
proportion (37%) would be unlikely to enroll, with 16% saying “not at all likely.”

Looking at those likely to enroll, they are found in greater proportions in the
North and Central County, among women, among those 45 to 64 years old, those
earning less than $80,000, those with some college, and non-Asian minorities,
especially Hispanics (Figure 14).
County residents who initially gave a high rating score to their interest in taking
college courses in the next three years (labeled here as “very” or “somewhat”
interested) were significantly more likely than those with less initial interest to say
they were likely to take courses at an SMCCCD college in the next three years.

DEMOGRAPHICS
This study was conducted among San Mateo County residents who expressed at
least some minimal interest in taking college courses in the next three years.
These tables show the demographic profiles of survey respondents.
Survey respondents were far more likely to be female (61%) than male (39%),
and South County produced a higher concentration of female respondents than
North or Central County (Figure 17).
•
Over one-half of respondents have lived in the county for more than 20
years.
•
The average age is 51.3, with South County residents (52.3) having a
significantly higher average age than North County residents (50.1).

NOTE: Respondents to this survey had to meet several criteria in order to qualify, with the
most important being expressing at least some interest in taking college courses in the next
three years. These respondents represent a distinct subset of all county residents – namely
those interested in taking college courses in the next three years. As such this demographic
profile describes that subgroup of residents and will not match a demographic profile of all
county residents.

BASE
Three-quarters of respondents (76%) were white/Caucasian, and 20% belonged to
a minority group (Figure 18).
•
Asians are more common in North and Central County, while Hispanics
are more common in North County than in Central or South County.
•
More than six in ten respondents have a college degree. Far larger
proportions of North County residents do not have a college degree,
compared to Central and South County.
•
Household incomes are generally lowest in North County and highest in
South County, with Central County fitting in between.
APPENDIX:
Currently Enrolled Students
(Only 84 students in this study are currently enrolled in Bay Area colleges,
of whom 49 are students at SMCCCD colleges and 35 are students at other
Bay Area colleges. These subgroup bases sizes are too small to produce
statistically meaningful differences. Therefore, these findings should be used
with caution as they cannot be interpreted as definitive, but rather are only
suggestive of possible differences.)

All students currently enrolled in a Bay Area college were asked for the main

Those enrolled at an SMCCCD college were about equally likely to say the
college “offers the courses I want” (43%) or “is conveniently located” (41%).
Those enrolled at other Bay Area colleges are more likely to say the college
“offers the courses I want” (63%) than “is conveniently located” (29%).

Regional and Demographic Banner Tables
WideAngle Communications/

Demographic and Regional Banner Tables
GLS Research
(#207331)
A NOTE ON HOW TO READ THESE TABLES
Each table is a grid of cells formed by columns and rows. The columns are formed by the “banner” across the top, and the rows are
formed by the “stubs” down the left side. Each heading in the banner represents a group or sub-group under examination. Each
stub represents a particular response to a survey question. The intersection of a column and a row forms a cell. Most cells contain
two numbers. The top number is the raw count, i.e., the number of respondents in that group (column) who gave that response
(row). The second number is the proportion (percentage) of respondents in that group (column) who gave that response (row).
Some cells also contain capital letters below the proportions. These letters correspond to letters in parenthesis at the top of each
column. If a letter appears below a proportion in a cell, that means the proportion in that cell is significantly larger statistically from
the proportion in the cell in the column labeled with that letter. In the example below, 27.0% of respondents from central San Mateo
County said they have lived in the county for 10 years or less, compared to 20.9% of north county residents. The letter “B” under
the 27.0% indicates that it is a significantly higher proportion than the 20.9%, which appears in Column B.

APPENDIX:
Initial Interest Banner Tables
WideAngle Communications/
San Mateo County Community College District
Special Banner Tables
Selected Questions by
Initial Interest in Taking College Courses
In the Next Three Years
GLS Research
(#207331)
A NOTE ON HOW TO READ THESE TABLES
Each table is a grid of cells formed by columns and rows. The columns are formed by the “banner” across the top, and the rows are
formed by the “stubs” down the left side. Each heading in the banner represents a group or sub-group under examination. Each stub
represents a particular response to a survey question. The intersection of a column and a row forms a cell. Most cells contain two
numbers. The top number is the raw count, i.e., the number of respondents in that group (column) who gave that response (row). The
second number is the proportion (percentage) of respondents in that group (column) who gave that response (row).
Some cells also contain capital letters below the proportions. These letters correspond to letters in parenthesis at the top of each column.
If a letter appears below a proportion in a cell, that means the proportion in that cell is significantly larger statistically from the proportion in
the cell in the column labeled with that letter. In the example below, 9.1% of respondents who said they were “very interested” in taking
college courses in the next 3 years said they plan to pursue a 2- or 4-year degree, compared to 4.2% who said they were “not very
interested.” The letter “E” under the 9.1% indicates that it is a significantly higher proportion than the 4.2%, which appears in Column E.
