Recession impacts community college completion rate
By Sacramento Bee
Completion rates at the California Community Colleges have fallen steadily over the past four years, according to the first update of the system’s Student Success Scorecard.
The accountability report released Tuesday, which tracks key performance measurements across the state’s 112 community colleges, shows that the six-year completion rate for students seeking to earn a degree or transfer to a four-year institution fell to 48.1 percent last year.
