The directory includes retention and graduation rates and the type of
degree and certificate programs offered by the community colleges listed
on usnews.com.
U.S. News has just published the second edition of its online Community College Directory, which includes data on nearly 950 community colleges from 50 states, as well as the U.S. territories and associated states. These are colleges whose highest degree granted is an associate degree.
In order to be included in the directory, a school has to hold regional accreditation from one of the six regional accrediting organizations recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. To ensure that institutions have met a series of high standards, U.S. News similarly requires U.S.-based schools to be regionally accredited in order to be included in our Best Colleges, Best Graduate Schools and Best Online Programs projects.
All the data for each community college come directly from the U.S. Department of Education's Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, or IPEDS, website. Nearly all U.S. higher education institutions – including community colleges – are required to annually report a wide variety of education-related information to the U.S. government if they want their students to be eligible to receive Pell Grants.
Individual school data available in the U.S. News Community College Directory include location; financial aid and other details on paying for school; retention, graduation and transfer-out rates; student-to-faculty ratio; types of services offered to students; and a list of associate degree and certificate programs offered, among other details.
Below, U.S. News has also conducted a detailed demographic breakdown of the schools in the updated directory.
Geographic distribution: The five states with the largest number of community colleges in the directory are California (117), Texas (62), North Carolina (60), Illinois (48) and New York (39). The top 10 states with the largest number of community colleges had an aggregate of 468 schools, accounting for 49.7 percent of the total. There were three states with only two community colleges (Alaska, Indiana and Utah) and three states with just one community college (Nevada, Rhode Island and Vermont).
