EDWARDS, Colorado - A recent article by CNNMoney entitled "How does your community college stack up?" ranked Colorado Mountain College in the top 20 out of nearly 800 community colleges around the nation for successful graduation and transfer rates. The list compared colleges with more than 200 full-time freshmen.
CMC garnered the 17th slot nationally and came in first for the state of Colorado. This places the college in the top 2 percent of success rates among all medium-sized public community colleges. The success rate is drawn from each school's federally reported rates of student graduation within three years or transfers to a four-year college.
"This is wonderful news for our students and our stakeholders," Jill Boyle, senior vice president of Colorado Mountain College, said in a statement. "This study illustrates the exceptional quality of the academic programs available at our college."
The article by CNNMoney pointed to the growing trend of students attending community colleges because of affordability.
KDNK's Eric Skalac spoke to CMC Senior Vice-President Jill Boyle to find out why the board voted to support the bill. Dr. Jill Boyle spoke about the importance of access to higher education. Dr. Boyle emphasized the role of the community college in providing the opportunity for better futures for all.
"FKCC President Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle and college faculty visit with Rep. Ros-Lehtinen to discuss FKCC's recent growth of full-time enrollment and the school's vision for future curriculum and training programs."
