3. COMPLETE VS. TRANSFER  70%+ of C.C. students who transfer to a 4-year with an associate degree SUCCESSFULLY complete a baccalaureate degree.  Those who transfer without the associate degree increase their likelihood of NEVER earning a baccalaureate degree.  Associate degrees = losing fewer credits when transferring! In many states, IT’S THE LAW!

4. COMPLETE VS. TRANSFER  Transfer WITHOUT an associate degree = forced to take additional classes or REPEAT classes at the senior college at 3X the COST of C.C. tuition.  College costs have risen 400% in the last 25 years  Community college costs have risen 200% in the last 7 years and 7.3% since 2009
