California Community Colleges, Chancellor's Office
The California Community Colleges serve more than 2.1 million students and is the largest system of higher education in the nation. The state's 113 colleges offer certificates and degrees to job seekers in the 21st century, provide basic skills courses in English and math and prepare students for transfer to four-year universities. This 2015-16 report highlights the role of the California Community Colleges in advancing students' basic education and employment skills through the use of noncredit enhanced funding. Colleges develop certificates of completion and certificates of competency following the Career Development and College Preparation program and Noncredit Enhanced Funding criteria. Students who attain this education and training are better equipped to succeed in the world. Details on these approved noncredit programs and courses for 2015-16 will show the expansion of program opportunities and funding investment (the full-time equivalent students). Following the summary of the current year's activities is a comprehensive exhibit section. The legislative and regulatory requirements for the Career Development and College Preparation and Noncredit Enhanced Funding are included. In addition, Career Development and College Preparation certificates for each district are listed. Finally, noncredit enhanced funding courses that had full-time equivalent students enrolled in 2015-16 are listed by college.
