States Turn to Community Colleges as Route to Bachelor's Degree as 4-Year Campuses Face Tight Budgets and Overcrowding.

Mercer, Joyce

Chronicle of Higher Education, v38 n35 pA1,28 May 6 1992

Increasingly, students and states are seeing community colleges as a cheaper, more accessible route to bachelor's degrees, by having four-year students spend two years in a community college or converting community colleges to four-year programs. Debate focuses on availability of appropriate resources, duplication of effort, and dilution of degree quality. (MSE)
