For nearly 70 years, DECA has impacted the lives of more than ten million students, educators, school administrators and business professionals. Our core focus has remained consistent throughout and is captured in our mission: DECA prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs for ca-reers in marketing, finance, hospitality and management in high schools and colleges around the globe.

DECA’s programs and activities constantly evolve as we

apply cutting edge educational research and use the

latest technology to engage both educators and stu-

dents and remove barriers to participation. DECA’s ex-

cellent results are created by providing co-curricular pro-

grams that integrate into classroom instruction, helping

students apply learning, connect to business and the

community and understand the value of competition.

Our student members leverage their DECA experiences

to become academically prepared, community oriented,

professionally responsible, experienced leaders.

DECA offers two unique student divisions. The High School Division includes 211,000 members in 3,500 schools, and the Collegiate Division includes over 13,500 members in 250 colleges and universities. DECA Inc. is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit student organization with

DECA members understand the critical need to obtain

their high school diplomas, as well as the valuable

connection between what they are currently learning and

a college degree. DECA students seek challenging

courses and advanced programs of study, and pursue

college and career readiness with determination that

outpaces the national average. In addition, the more

engaged members are with DECA’s competitive

programs, the higher their GPAs, and the more likely

they are to be successful self-challengers, choosing

more relevant business courses and rigorous classes

than their peers.

Choosing the most challenging courses and beginning

their career preparations early, DECA members will

become our future business people, entrepreneurs

and professionals. DECA members are more likely to

attend college and are significantly more likely to major

in business and business-related specialties such as

accounting and marketing.

more than 224,500 members in all 50 United States, the District of Columbia, Canada, China, Germany, Guam, Honduras, Korea, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Spain. The United States Congress, the United States Department of Education and state, district and international depart-ments of education authorize DECA’s programs.

In addition to general knowledge, businesses

around the world are seeking graduates with

coveted 21st Century Skills: creativity, critical

thinking, problem-solving, decision-making and

the motivation for lifelong learning. DECA puts

tremendous focus on developing these skills in

emerging leaders and entrepreneurs. All of DECA’s

Comprehensive Learning Program activities are

cross-walked to the Framework for 21st Century

Learning. As members progress through DECA’s

learning program, they demonstrate a highly

advanced understanding and ability to execute

these skills. They also gain direct exposure to

the expectations that businesses have for

their future employees and executives.

This Annual Impact Report highlights

the college and career readiness

of DECA members at all levels of

participation – in a DECA chapter,

at a State Career Development

Conference (SCDC) and at DECA’s

International Career Development

Conference (ICDC).

5

Grade Point Average DECA members are top achievers: the more involved they are in DECA’s competitive program, the higher their GPAs.

Research MethodologyThis research was conducted by My College Options®. In the fall of 2015 and spring of 2016, business educators and DECA advisors were invited to lead an activity in the classroom, as well as at the State and International Career Development Conferences, encouraging students to register for the My College Options College Planning Program. As part of that process, students provided their attitudes and interests related to business careers and their involvement with DECA. The data analysis and research findings resulting from that process are shared in this report.

Sampling ErrorThe margin of error and the confidence interval below are a measurement of how well the DECA research results represent the entire student community. For example, in theory, one could say that if we performed the survey 100 times, the results for each respondent would fall within the margin of error above or below the percentage reported 99 out of 100 times.

Nonsampling ErrorIt is possible that question wording and logistical difficulties in research studies can introduce error or bias into the findings, in addition to that caused by non-response and sampling error.
