Why Don't More Community College Students Transfer?

According to figures issued by CCRC in 2021, of 100 degree-seeking community college students, about 31 were transferring to a four-year college, and only 14 earned a bachelor’s degree within six years. CCRC Director Thomas Brock spoke to The Chronicle of Higher Education about the shortcomings of the current transfer process, noting that educators and policymakers "find [these shortcomings] inexcusable and intolerable and are dedicated to making improvements."
