ORLANDO, Fla. (August 9, 2024) – Generously funded by Lumina Foundation, the Community College Baccalaureate Association (CCBA) and its research partner, Bragg & Associates, Inc., recently published a new Data Points series that addresses common misperceptions of community college baccalaureate (CCB) degrees by spotlighting key facts supported by the latest national research. 

“The Data Points series is an important evidence-based step toward fuller transparency about CCB programs and the diverse learners who secure these degrees,” says Bragg & Associates President, Dr. Debra Bragg. 

The research team identified and analyzed 11 Data Points topic areas most pressing to the field including: 

  • race and ethnicity
  • employment and earnings potential 
  • adult working learners
  • enrollment, completion and outcomes

“CCBA was founded to provide support and resources to community colleges that offer workforce-driven bachelor’s degrees that maximize opportunities for all citizens to achieve family-sustaining careers,” explains CCBA President Dr. Angela Kersenbrock. “These ground-breaking data answer many basic questions about the students CCBs serve, their outcomes, and the positive and important impacts CCB programs deliver to their communities, the nation and the global marketplace.”

The complete CCB Data Points series is available at accbd.org/category/ccb-data.

Bragg and Associates, Inc., led by Dr. Debra Bragg, is an equity-minded consulting group dedicated to advancing student success in education and employment. The Bragg & Associates team authored the Data Points series and numerous tools and briefs, including Watch them Grow, a 2024 report of national CCB inventory results.
