A Campaign Fosters Faster Routes to Degrees

According to data from Complete College America, only 5% of full-time community college students nationwide graduate in two years; as Inside Higher Ed reports, some institutions, like Camden County College, are addressing this by implementing a "15 to Finish" campaign, which encourages students to take 15 credits per semester rather than the minimum of 12. CCRC Senior Research Scholar Davis Jenkins commented on the issue of student momentum: "Colleges are hemorrhaging these students. And they’re wasting talent. It’s an equity issue. It’s a workforce issue."
