Survey Says CCC Ranks Among Nation’s Top Community Colleges

08/25/09

  Camden County College graduates more associate’s degree recipients than all but 84 of the nation’s thousands of institutions of higher education.
  According to an analysis of federal Department of Education data by Community College Week newspaper, CCC ranked 85th nationwide in terms of overall associate’s degree completion. The study reviewed 2007-08 statistics, the most recent available, from the thousands of two- and four-year colleges and universities in the United States 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 fourth in education and also placed 37th in nursing and 43rd in health professions and related clinical sciences.
  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 59th in number of associate’s degrees earned by African-American students as well as 68th 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, 2009 Edition.”
  Registration for Fall 2009 classes in all academic disciplines is on now, and the first courses of the semester begin the week of Sept. 2. Later-starting sessions begin in mid-September as well as in October and November. Visit www.camdencc.edu for additional details.

  • SNJBP Datebook: January 2012

      January is not a big month for “don’t miss” events, But it is home to one of, if not “the,” premier events of the year—the State Chamber’s annual “Walk to Washington.”
      The tradition began in 1937 when several of the state's top business executives took a train to Washington to have dinner with New Jersey's congressional delegation. The rest is history. The Walk to Washington obtained its name when participants realized that few sit on the train; they literally walk the train mingling and exchanging business cards the whole way to Washington.
