Community Colleges

Valparaiso Law School announced its plans to close less than a month after the Tennessee Higher Education Commission rejected its plan to transfer to a public university in that state.

A new study shows few student achievements from an innovative initiative in Tennessee that moved college math remediation back to high school.

Colleges are hoping a new initiative will help them encourage former students who stopped out to return and complete their degrees.

They prepare students for the challenges they will confront in their professional, political, social and cultural lives, argues Elizabeth H. Bradley.

Assertions about the value of the humanities should not be predominantly defensive responses to those who mistakenly deride the economic outcomes of such an education, warns Robert Newman.

Many community colleges rely too much on associate degrees that have little labor market value and too rarely lead to a four-year credential, Ryan Craig argues.

New annual data from the College Board show that college tuition and fees have moderated since the recession, with public college prices dropping slightly this year. But they may rise again soon.

Some community colleges have found innovative partnerships with their public housing authorities may help combat student homelessness.
