Community College Costs and Challenges: A TICAS Perspective
Cochrane, Debbie
Community College Journal of Research and Practice, v39 n10 p918-922 2015
Community colleges are vital to our country's future, enrolling 42% of the nation's undergraduates and awarding the majority of all associate degrees and undergraduate certificates. Yet, despite their key role, they are the only sector that is increasingly asked to do more with fewer resources. This article discusses the important role that community colleges play, key data points that help define the sector, and how a strong future workforce requires deeper investment in community colleges today.
