Community College Baccalaureate Degree Completion in Washington. Data Note 4. New Baccalaureate Series
Meza, Elizabeth Apple; Bragg, Debra
Community College Research Initiatives
Complimenting an earlier data note on enrollment by Meza (2019) [see Data Note 2, ED608169], results of this data note examine the completion rates of students in Community College Baccalaureate (CCB) programs in Washington state by program area and student demographics. We find CCB degree completion rates are rising and now approach the baccalaureate completion rates for students transferring from a community college to a public four-year university in Washington state. This is notable as the CCB student population includes students who are older and more likely to be underserved by higher education than the transfer student group. Our results also show CCB degree completion rates vary by program area and student demographics, with completion rates for Latinx students of 66 percent and rivaling the completion rates of White and Asian students in the Business program area. However, equity gaps exist in degree completion in other CCB program areas that need to be addressed. [For Data Note 3, see ED608172.]
