Description:
In an increasingly global society and economy, education and training beyond compulsory primary and secondary education—especially in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)—is essential to a nation's competitiveness and its standard of living. Community colleges, originally developed at the turn of the 20th century as open-admissions junior colleges and offering the first two years of a baccalaureate education, help meet this need. These colleges have evolved into comprehensive institutions, preparing students to transfer to upper-division universities or to enter the workforce directly. Enrolling 43% of all U.S. undergraduates ( 1 ), community colleges play important roles in developing public scientific literacy, educating scientists and engineers, and addressing the nation's need for well-prepared technicians ( 2 ). But challenges remain.
