"The latest report, part of a series, examined transfer data for students who entered community college in 2017 and for former community college students enrolled at four-year institutions that academic year. It found that only 31.6 percent of first-time students who started community college in 2017 transferred within six years. And slightly fewer than half of those who transferred, 49.7 percent, earned a bachelor's degree, consistent with outcomes for the previous cohort."
"For example, students who came to community college with some dual-enrollment credits had higher transfer and bachelor's degree completion rates, 46.9 percent and 60.1 percent, respectively. Bachelor's degree completion rates were also highest for transfer students at public four-year institutions compared to other types of institutions. Nearly three-quarters of students who transferred from community colleges to public four-year institutions in the 2017-18 academic year earned a bachelor's degree within six years."
