Old Wine in a New Wineskin

College Choice, College Access Using Agent-Based Modeling

Leslie Henrickson

University of California, Los Angeles, lhenrick{at}ucla.edu

An agent-based model is developed and demonstrated to be a feasible alternative method of analysis for the college choice/college access problem in higher education. The agent-based model captures agent heterogeneity and complex agent interactions in ways that cannot be accounted for through traditional statistical techniques. The agent-based model computer output was based on Patricia McDonough’s research using Pierre Bourdieu’s sociological theoretical framework.

Key Words: agent-based model • college admission • college applicants • college attendance • college choice • computer simulation • Pierre Bourdieu
