Camden County College Ranks Among Nation's Top Community Colleges
Camden County College graduates more associate’s degree recipients than all but 83 of the nation’s approximately 5,000 of institutions of higher education.According to an analysis of federal Department of Education data by Community College Week newspaper, CCC ranked 84th nationwide in terms of overall associate’s degree completion. The study reviewed 2008-09 statistics, the most recent available, from the two- and four-year colleges and universities in the United States that award associate’s degrees to generate a list of the top 100.
The Community College Week study also reviewed data regarding associate’s degree completion for individual subject areas and compiled lists of the top 50 institutions by discipline. Camden County College ranked eighth in education and also placed 39th in communication technologies/technicians and support services.
In addition to analyzing overall and discipline-specific statistics, the study analyzed statistics regarding degree completion in terms of student demographics. Camden County College ranked 58th in number of associate’s degrees earned by African-American students as well as 78th in number of associate’s degrees earned by non-minority students.
To be included in the study, institutions must operate within the 50 United States or the District of Columbia. They also must be eligible to receive financial aid funding under federal Title IV legislation.
All rankings from the study were published in a special edition of Community College Week titled “Top 100 Associate’s Degree Producers, 2010 Edition.”
