Guest Post: Community Colleges Are Not a Silver Bullet for Closing Completion Gap | New... - 0 views

  • Among students who begin in a two-year college, only 12 percent of underrepresented minority students and 16 percent of other students transfer to a four-year institution. Among transfers, only 55 percent of the minorities and 61 percent of other students earn a bachelor’s within six years of transferring. In sum, then, only about seven percent of minority students—and 10 percent of nonminority students—who begin in a two-year college earn a bachelor’s degree from any institution in these large systems within 10 years of starting college. These rates are far lower than for students who begin even in nonselective four-year colleges.
  • We can’t afford to waste this much talent. Indeed, a recent report from the independent, congressionally chartered Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance painted a stark picture of the consequences of current attendance patterns. According to the committee’s calculations, the combination of three forces—the increasing cost of college, insufficient need-based grant aid, and an enrollment shift among college-qualified students toward the two-year sector—resulted in a loss of between 1.7 and 3.2 million bachelor’s degrees over the last decade.

Universities Drop Remedial Classes as Part of Reform - 0 views

  •  
    Ohio is shifting remedial education to community colleges and soon will no longer fund these courses at most four-year institutions. The shift, along with efforts to ease credit transfers between institutions, are meant to save students money. Ohio also will be developing standards for college readiness. (Dayton Daily News, 10/09/11)
