Seventy-seven California community colleges operate registered nursing programs, enrolling a statewide total of 14,010 full-time equivalent students in 2016-17, an increase of 3.6 percent from the previous school year. Of the 77 colleges with nursing programs, 74 were awarded state funds to expand the enrollment capacity of nursing programs and to implement assessment, remediation and retention strategies to decrease attrition rates. In 2016-17, California community college nursing program enrollment increased by 1,514 students (compared to last year's enrollment increase by 1,525 students), and the overall attrition rate was 11.82 percent (compared to last year's 13.8 percent). Colleges with nursing programs receive funding through general apportionment by number of full-time equivalent students in each program at each college. This report presents information on categorical funding beyond this apportionment funding awarded through an application process to the Chancellor's Office for nursing programs in fiscal year 2016-17.
