Editor's Notes
- Community colleges are the main sector in public Higher Education that is showing strong growth trends. Here are some interesting statistics from Carnegie Classification:1. Awards bachelor's degrees, but they represent less than 10% of degrees = 109 (2005) 162 (2010)+49% 2. Bachelor's degrees are at least 10% of degrees awarded, but less than half = 120 (2005) 147 (2010) +23%
