The Hechinger Institute on Education and the Media announced the creation of a new $7,500 journalism fellowship to support in-depth coverage of the mission and work of the nation’s 1,157 community colleges.

The book examines the economic, political, and social challenges that have made it increasingly difficult for two-year colleges to ensure that all students have an equal shot at college preparation, access, and success.

With a grant from the Institute of Education Sciences of the U.S. Department of Education, the center will study programs to help students transition to college and master the basic skills needed to earn a degree.

CCRC's report is based on a comparison of Florida community colleges that analysis shows have a higher impact on student academic success with colleges that have a lower impact.

The report discusses ways that states are fostering connections between high schools, community colleges, four-year institutions, and the labor market in order to benefit career and technical education students.

The study looked at the representation of Hispanic students at CUNY relative to their population in the city and how the enrollment and achievement of these students changed from 1990 and 2000.

CCRC, in partnership with the Campaign for Educational Equity at Teachers College, laid out the case that to be truly competitive in today’s workplace, educational success needs to go beyond the 12th grade.

A new report by the U.S. Department of Education examines the practices of credit-based transition programs, highlighting successes and areas of improvement.

While most policymakers and educators hope to expand the availability of credit-based transition programs at community colleges, few states have legislation that supports outreach to low- and middle-achieving students.

CCRC has released a report based on a first-of-its-kind study using student record information to track the progress and outcomes of low-skill adults in community colleges.
