San Diego Community Colleges Boost Degree Production

Officials at the San Diego Community College District in California will see a significant increase in the number of degrees earned this semester. The district announced a 37 percent jump in associate degrees earned this year compared to last year. More than 3,300 degrees will be conferred compared to more than 2,400. The colleges are attributing the increase to the Earn More Than a Degree campaign, which seeks to double the number of students who earn a degree or certificate by 2022.
