Community college transfer students face roadblocks to bachelor’s degrees

TOO FEW CALIFORNIA community college students are transferring to universities, and among those that do, not nearly enough are completing a degree within four years.

A new report describes a complex statewide transfer system that can prolong and derail students from achieving their bachelor’s degrees. The report released Thursday by the Campaign for College Opportunity, a California-based nonprofit, found significant barriers that continue to hinder student progress.
