Tracking Transfer: Measures of Effectiveness in Helping Community College Students to Complete Bachelor’s Degrees (National Student Clearinghouse Research Center)

"Overall, out of all degree-seeking students who began at a community college, 13.3 percent earned a bachelor’s degree within six years. This completion rate was 9.0 percent for lower income students and 19.6 percent for higher income students. Community colleges with primarily occupational focus had lower community college cohort bachelor’s completion rate than schools with primarily academic focus (11.7 percent and 14.9 percent, respectively). Higher-SES serving community colleges had the highest cohort bachelor’s completion rate (15.5 percent), much higher than the rate for lower-SES serving colleges (9.4 percent). The differences were not as substantial by urbanicity: suburban community colleges had only a slightly higher cohort bachelor’s completion rate (14.1 percent) than rural community colleges (12.7 percent) and urban community colleges (12.6 percent). Despite these small differences by college characteristics, the overall rate of 13.3 percent shows in stark relief the fact that few students who start in a community college are able to earn their bachelor’s degree within six years."

As each 10-digit phone number is unique, your message won't be delivered to the wrong person.
