Session Abstract: This poster presentation will explore postsecondary enrollment trends among Georgia public high school graduates. Leveraging a statewide longitudinal data system, the University System of Georgia (USG) Division of Research and Policy Analysis (RPA) conducted this analysis to support the USG’s strategic goal of increasing in-state enrollment. This poster presentation will highlight how these data and subsequent analysis have supported USG stakeholders through key findings such as demographics more likely to enroll out of state and at which specific institutions they enroll.

Keywords: statewide longitudinal data system, enrollment patterns, data visualization
