How does your education path impact your future?

Patrick Denice’s research focuses on how institutions contribute to inequality across the life-course, particularly investigating how education options impact later opportunities for people. Denice has researched the limitations of public school choice policies in addressing issues of inequality and segregation in the United States. Denice has also looked at the post-secondary education experiences of adults over 30 and those who take other less traditional paths through college, with specific attention paid to the labour market outcomes of people who attend for-profit colleges.
