Just 16% of community college students transfer and earn a bachelor’s degree

Just one-third of students who started at community colleges transferred to four-year institutions, and fewer than half of those students earned a bachelor’s degree in six years, new research from a trio of organizations found. [...]

Community college entrants in 2007 had a bachelor’s degree attainment of 14% — meaning this level of degree completion has only climbed 2 percentage points for students who start at these institutions. [...]

Older students, defined as those ages 25 and over, showed only a 6% bachelor’s degree attainment rate.

I never realized it was that low.
