NEW CCB REPORT

Still Growing: The Continuing Evolution of CCB Degrees in the United States

Findings to be Shared During Live Webinar, Wednesday, May 20

What is the state of the national community college baccalaureate (CCB) degree movement?

CCBA research partners answer that question and track CCB expansion across the nation in a new report: Still Growing: The Continuing Evolution of Community College Baccalaureate Degrees in the United States.

Researched and authored by Elizabeth Meza, Ph.D., a distinguished researcher and faculty instructor at the Evans School for Public Policy & Governance at the University of Washington, and Davis Vo, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of California, Los Angeles, School of Education & Information Studies, the report provides new data on the rapidly changing national landscape of CCB degrees including the following highlights:

The number of institutions offering CCB programs
The number of CCB programs
CCB programs graduates

An in-depth analysis of all findings will be presented by Meza and Vo during a live webinar at 12:30 pm EST on Wednesday, May 20, 2026.
