"Graduates of community college baccalaureate programs earned between $4,000 and $9,000 more than associate degree holders from the same colleges and fields of study."
"In some fields, community college baccalaureate graduates earned equivalent amounts or outpaced their four-year college counterparts, particularly in nursing and criminal justice."
"The report suggested that employers might care less about the type of degree and more about the skills and competencies of the graduates."
Research indicates that community college baccalaureate degrees provide higher earnings than associate degrees, with graduates earning $4,000 to $9,000 more. However, they earn about $2,000 less than four-year college graduates. Earnings vary significantly by field; nursing and criminal justice graduates from community colleges can earn as much or more than their four-year counterparts, while those in computer and information science earn less. The findings suggest that field of study greatly influences the financial benefits of community college baccalaureate degrees.
