Access to What? Geography of Opportunity and Baccalaureate Degree-Granting Community Colleges in California
Martinez, Edna; Acevedo, Nancy
Community College Journal of Research and Practice, v46 n7 p525-530 2022
Guided by a Geography of Opportunity framework and using Arc Geographic Information Systems (ArcGIS) mapping, we sought to explore how and to what extent California Community Colleges baccalaureate programs graduates' expected earnings are likely to meet the Self-Sufficiency Standard and afford fair market rent for the region in which they are located. In addition, we conducted a proximity analysis of the 15 approved California Community College baccalaureate pilot sites to examine the proximal relationship with the California State University (CSU) and the University of California (UC) campuses. The findings highlight the extent to which geography, place, and quality of life are considered when authorizing community colleges to grant bachelor's degrees and in which fields.
