Abstract
This study examines the entry of regionally accredited two-year for-profit and nonprofit degree-granting programs in higher education, using fixed effects analyses to investigate the impacts of (1) the number of incumbents and the percentage of incumbents that are for-profit on the likelihood of for-profit and nonprofit entry and (2) for-profit and nonprofit entry on incumbent enrollments. The results indicate that for-profit and nonprofit degree programs are differentiated, with the likelihood of for-profit entry declining in the percentage of incumbents that are for-profit. For-profit entry does not influence nonprofit or public enrollments, whereas nonprofit entry lowers public enrollments only.
