It provides centrally organized statistics on the progress of students and the role that community colleges play in addressing the nation’s need for a well-educated workforce.
The Completion Arch draws on the data results of national initiatives and published research presented as common measures that track community college student progress and success at national, state and initiative levels, making it a comprehensive resource.
