ABSTRACT Community college baccalaureate (CCB) degree programs have become increasingly popular in recent years, with over 100 community colleges in 24 states currently offering at least one bachelor’s degree program. Despite the growing prevalence of CCB degree programs, the financial implications of CCB adoption remain largely unknown. This study leverages a novel national dataset and employs a difference-in-differences regression approach to examine the relationship between CCB adoption and multiple indicators of institutional revenue and financial priorities. We find that CCB adoption is associated with decreases in community colleges’ reliance on public funds and increases in their reliance on tuition and fees.

一项关于社区大学学士学位收养的财务影响的全国性研究

摘要 近年来，社区大学学士学位 (CCB) 学位课程越来越受欢迎，目前 24 个州的 100 多所社区大学至少提供一个学士学位课程。尽管 CCB 学位课程越来越流行，但采用 CCB 的财务影响在很大程度上仍然未知。本研究利用一个新的国家数据集，并采用差异中的差异回归方法来检查 CCB 的采用与机构收入和财务优先事项的多个指标之间的关系。我们发现采用 CCB 与社区大学对公共资金依赖的减少和对学杂费的依赖增加有关。
