“Slightly more than 1/3 of the people
in California with bachelor’s degrees
come from California. 2/3 come
from other places.”
To meet its growing need for college
graduates, California will need to
produce more of its own.
California residents added
between 2005 and 2025
aged 25-44:
2.7 million
2.16 million
black and Latino
“That’s the population you have to work with.
“You’re going to have to rely much more on
the success of community colleges.”
Das WilliamsChair, CA Assembly Committee
on Higher Education
“The status quo is
morally unacceptable.”
“Our whole system
breaks down if we don’t
make community
colleges work.”

A better transfer curriculum will:
* foreground the essential learning
outcomes -- what we want students
to know and be able to do
* take full advantage of local
expertise, opportunities, and
high-impact practices
without sacrificing access and
portability.
