Examining Community College Baccalaureates (CCBs) as Tools for Social Mobility and Equity
Sat, April 13, 3:05 to 4:35pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 115ASession Type: Symposium
Abstract
More than half the states across the United States have now approved the conferral of bachelor’s degrees at community colleges to meet labor market needs and increase access to four-year degrees. Despite the popularity and growing significance of community college baccalaureate (CCB) efforts, there is a dearth of research on the functionality, performance, and outcomes of students who attend and graduate from these types of programs. This symposium addresses student-level, organizational-level, and broader employer perspectives of CCB efforts as this is timely and needed to explore the newest efforts to promote social mobility for first-generation, low-income, and students of color.
